Annual Report 2025: Strong women - fair work
The 2025 annual report looks back on a turbulent year marked by global upheavals and political headwinds – from drastic cuts in development aid, to the worrying softening 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 FEMNET's commitment: With powerful protests, such as the handover of 210,000 signatures to the Federal Chancellery, FEMNET has taken a clear stance and proved that the commitment against exploitation and civil society restrictions must be louder than ever, especially in times of crisis.
In addition to the political struggle, the report highlights the many hopeful successes and concrete projects that prove that change is possible. The rays of light ranged from the historic ratification of the ILO Convention against Violence at Work in Bangladesh, to the enforcement of gender-responsive health protection in Asian factories, to life-saving emergency relief following environmental disasters.
The annual report is therefore not only an honest record of global challenges, but above all an inspiring, militant call under the motto ‘Now even more!’ – for all those who want to actively promote women’s rights, democracy and global justice.
