Femnet e.V.

The 2025 annual report looks back on a highly turbulent year marked by massive global upheavals and political headwinds – from drastic cuts in development aid to the worrying weakening of supply chain laws in Germany and the EU, to the increasing repression of trade unions in producing countries such as India, Myanmar and Bangladesh..

But instead of capitulating to these resistances, the report shows the commitment of FEMNET and also the achievements achieved. FEMNET takes a clear stance and proves that the fight against exploitation and civil society restrictions must be louder than ever, especially in times of crisis.

The 2024 annual report is entitled 'Together we are strong'. In these challenging times, this commitment is important. It is to be feared that the shift to the right in Europe and Trump as US President will have a negative impact on women's rights. It is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve change as political and financial challenges increase. This makes it all the more important for us, as a civil society, to stick together and stand in solidarity against adversity.

FEMNET has and will therefore work with other civil society organisations to ensure that the German Federal Government and the EU adhere to and expand the first approaches towards a global economy based on solidarity – the German and European Supply Chain Act and the implementation of the SDG goals. We will fight together for international human rights, especially the rights of women and the LGBTQ+ community, and against nationalism and racism.

Our highlights in 2023 in retrospect: In Bangladesh, textile workers took to the streets for a higher minimum wage. FEMNET has supported trade unions in Bangladesh in their fight for higher wages by funding a study that was the basis for wage negotiations.

With three new projects, FEMNET has stepped up its deployment in Bangladesh, India and Indonesia. The complaint filed jointly with the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR) against IKEA and Amazon on the basis of the German Supply Chain Act with the competent Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (BAFA) was also significant.
