- Summary
- This 128-page publication published by the CCC International Secretariat includes feature articles on important themes relating to gender and labour rights and 17 profiles of women involved in different ways in the movement for garment workers' rights. This publication is part of a broader drive within the Clean Clothes Campaign to provide a gender analysis of labour rights issues, and specifically to document and re-state gendered concerns that relate to workers’ rights in the garment and sports shoe industries. Also it is part of CCC efforts to document examples of initiatives that do address these concerns, and to present ideas on how these concerns should be explicitly integrated in the work of the CCC. The CCC envisions this publication as a resource for building awareness among those directly involved in the Clean Clothes Campaigns and among CCC supporters, and more extensively among other NGOs and trade unions. It could possibly be a resource for those in the industry and the multi-stakeholder initiatives that seek to address labour practices in the sector. Clearly, a lot of learning still needs to be done on many levels, and the CCC believes this publication can be a tool to clearly communicate what the issues are and possible ways for addressing them.
