Worker-led efforts, rather than corporate or consumer-led ones, shift the focus to the ideas, needs and collective action of the workers themselves.

History Is Made — ILO Adopts Convention To
Stop GBV At Work!

The ILO voted to adopt a global convention & recommendation on eliminating gender based violence at work.
These international labor standards provide a framework; but they are only a first step. Eliminating gender based
violence in garment supply chains and across all sectors will require workplace programs involving brands, suppliers,
and unions with strong women’s leadership.

Women Workers in Global Garment Supply Chains
Are Saying #MeToo

The organising power of women workers has propelled us to this pivotal moment — however continued support
for the collective power of women to negotiate directly with brands & suppliers is critical to end
gender based violence and harassment along global garment supply chains.

Garment brands who have women dominated global supply chains must act on their responsibility to improve conditions for women workers in their global supply chains in collaboration with the worker organization that those women lead, including preventing gender-based violence and harassment.

A #MeToo Movement for
the Global Fashion Industry

The women who keep the global garment supply chain running are facing their own gender-based abuse.

All Fast-Fashion Requires Systemic
Gender-Based Violence

Sweatshops, economic exploitation, and gender-based abuse of garment workers are not a reformable by-product of fast-fashion; they are a systemic, inevitable, and necessary component central to fast-fashion’s model of production, at almost every level of the supply chain.
