Annual Report 2021 We look back again on a challenging year. The ongoing pandemic has further deteriorated the situation of female workers in India and Bangladesh. In Myanmar, too, seamstresses who courageously oppose the military regime are subjected to violence and reprisals. Human rights violations must not be tolerated in order to increase corporate profits – our political work opposed them in 2021 and advocated binding rules to protect people’s rights in a sustainable way. With success, because we have been strongly committed to the Supply Chain Act adopted in 2021. At the same time, the interest in making public textile purchasing fairer continues to grow significantly. In the seventh year, the ‘Fair Public Procurement’ project has further increased its outreach and FEMNET consultation requests have also increased. In addition, we now also advise companies on sustainable textile purchasing. FEMNET Annual Report 2021 (PDF file) Details Category: Jahresberichte
Annual Report 2020 FEMNET's work in 2020 was under the auspices of the coronavirus pandemic, both nationally and internationally. Corona forced us all into the home office and thus into a largely digital world of work. We quickly switched to online formats and continued many of the planned activities virtually. The coronavirus pandemic and its impact on the lives of thousands of textile workers in India and Bangladesh led us to a new area of responsibility in 2020. Thanks to the close exchange with our partner organisations, the alarming situation quickly became clear as early as March. That's why we immediately set up a Corona Emergency Fund - a novelty for FEMNET, as our field of work is not in emergency and disaster relief. Rather, we have always taken the approach of working together with our partners to achieve structural improvements and structurally improve working conditions in the producing countries. We present our political and educational work in our detailed annual report. FEMNET Annual Report 2020 (PDF file) Details Category: Jahresberichte
Annual Report 2019 The year 2019 was marked by the fight #against violence against seamstresses. Together with our partners, we were able to effectively support women in India and Bangladesh. In the Textile Alliance, we enforced the fight against women's discrimination as a binding cross-cutting issue for 2020. With a variety of actions, events and publications, we were committed to living wages and more transparency, opposed fast fashion and presented sustainable alternatives. There was a noticeable increase in interest in fair public procurement in 2019: Small municipalities are also on their way, pilot projects encourage imitation and with a lecture tour and country studies, we specifically focused on workwear. We are looking forward to growing cooperation in our educational and educational work and are convinced: Together we bring human rights into fashion!
