The war in #Ukraine is exacerbating inequalities. It has increased the care burden on women & impacted their economic opportunities. 60% of #informal workers are #women. They are extremely vulnerable right now ⬇️

Two years ago - crisis was engulfing the world.
Lockdowns were on the horizon as we dealt with Covid-19. For workers in the fast fashion industry supplying the UK market, this meant cancelled orders and destitution.

The scope of #EU #HRDD legislation is hotly contested. My blog explores the arguments for why legislation should include all workers in all tiers of the #SupplyChain @ECCJorg @EUCommission1 @OxfamEU @cleanclothes @HomeworkersWW @janinemberg @CHoffmanUNI
"If human rights due diligence legislation applies only to employees in factories, the rights of workers in workshops & homes can be violated with impunity."

Lack of freedom of association & the
absence of mechanisms to ensure that they do not face retaliation for recording their complaints
prevent women workers from voicing their #HumanRights violations.

For vulnerable #HomeBasedWorkers, the home is the workplace and #DomesticViolence is workplace violence. Women HBWs report that when they face violence at home, it has a direct impact on their economic output.

80% of garment workers are women in an industry rife with injustice. Workers can hardly prove whose clothes they made. With no brand to hold accountable these workers have no voice. @EU make transparency the cornerstone of #mHRDD #WomenHoldBizAccountable cleanclothes.org/file-reposi…
