USEFUL LINKS
Global media has shown that sexual harassment can take place in any industry. The garment supply chain is no exception. The situation can change if women and men, workers and employers, join together to create work cultures of respect, where harassment is not tolerated. Around the world, this shift is starting to take place—and the garment industry can play an important role. In this resource from CARE, learn about how garment factory managers in Asia are taking action to make women feel safer at work.
