Workers' Rights

We focus on strengthening workers' rights and improving working and living conditions in communities where the company’s products are manufactured. This program seeks to influence both business practice and the underlying social system in the community or country. Through our grant making – the majority of which pays special attention to the needs of women in apparel factory settings – we aim to build the capacity of local organizations and governments to address these issues.

We provide grants to local, regional or global programs that:

• Disseminate information about workplace rights and responsibilities to workers and managers and monitor and enforce labor law protections;
• Increase understanding of health issues — especially communicable diseases like HIV — and promote access to asset-building and life skills training; and
• Link trade liberalization initiatives with labor and human rights protections and build the capacity of countries.
