The Women’s Center Manual is a comprehensive guide on establishing community platforms for women garment workers. It provides a step-by-step framework for individuals, organisations, and stakeholders looking to create safe spaces such as women’s cafés or women’s centers in garment-producing countries. The manual is based on experiences from Bangladesh, Cambodia, and Myanmar and offers practical solutions for setting up, managing, and sustaining these platforms.

The manual serves as a blueprint for creating sustainable, worker-led initiatives that empower women in the garment industry. By fostering collaboration among factories, unions, civil society, and global brands, these community platforms aim to improve working conditions, gender equality, and overall well-being for garment workers.
