For better working conditions for women in the textile industry
The working conditions for women in the garment industry are often inhumane, especially in countries of the Global South. Modern forms of slavery, violence and exploitation are commonplace. Through campaigns, educational work in Germany as well as projects and actions in the countries of the Global South, we draw attention to these issues and contribute to bring about change.
