Worker-Driven Social Responsibility Network

Since its founding almost twenty years ago, the Worker Rights Consortium has reported on and sought remedy for garment workers who have suffered countless violations of their rights, including non-payment of wages and terminal compensation, health and safety violations, forced and unpaid overtime, verbal and physical abuse, and sexual harassment. Women workers have told us about managers and supervisors who made sexual comments, touched them inappropriately, and coerced them into sexual relationships. In this piece, Rola Abimourched talks about why only putting workers in charge of enforcement will shift the needle.
