Moving the Needle 3: Safer Garment Factories: How to tackle gender-based violence and harassment in Asia?

Moving the needle: Creating the future together | Online Seminar 3 | Gender based violence and harassment (GVBH) is a widely discussed topic in the garment and textile sector. Many actors are determined to fight for safer factories and a healthy environment for workers. Raising awareness and sharing tools and approaches is one of many ways in which stakeholders come together in their efforts. Today we want to look at the specific roles of industry stakeholders and how each of them is creating an enabling environment in preventing and remediating GBVH, with reference to new tools developed to support a healthy sector. The objective of the event is to show that tackling gender-based violence and harassment is a collective responsibility across the supply chain – one that demands collaboration from manufacturers, brands, workers, and policymakers alike. The event took place on 9th November 2021.
