@hm You must formally investigate the death of Jeyasre Kathiravel who died after the result of unchecked sexual harassment and gender based violence at one of your factories in Tamil Nadu. We demand justice.
20-year-old Dalit garment worker at the @hm supplier factory Natchi Apparels in Tamil Nadu was raped and murdered by her immediate supervisor.
Workers in the factory said that the death followed months of sexual harassment in the workplace.

A woman in Lesotho has died after she was shot during protests by factory workers, who were met with police + army enforcement.
Workers are demanding a 20% salary increase for the lowest paid, who take home the local equivalent of £113.73 a month.

"In March alone this year 40 garment workers in Egypt and Morocco lost their lives in unsafe factories... Our call as global unions is to sign a global agreement that can take the best lessons learnt from Bangladesh."

What next for the Bangladesh Accord and garment worker safety? #Bangladesh #RanaPlaza buff.ly/2Qzw81O

In the week in which we commemorate the Rana Plaza collapse, the question arises: is enough being done to keep workers safe now? Vogue finds that current initiatives are at risk & esp. beyond Bangladesh workers' lives are still at risk #RanaPlazaNeverAgain vogue.com/article/garment-wo…

.@nextofficial trying to cater to the Muslim community with their kurtas for Eid but have you checked on your Muslim garment workers this Ramadan?? Are they being paid their wages during the pandemic let alone living wage in general????

.@Nike made $1.4 BILLION from december to March. Meanwhile, the workers who make the products they profit from were left penniless when factories shut down last year. At Violet Apparel alone, workers are owed at least $343,174.
Nike, #PayYourWorkers!

The #Myanmar garment industry is in total crisis due to the military #coup, and the industry faces collapse if the military don't restore democracy. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

Workers are owed $500 million in unpaid severance, according to @4WorkerRights. Workers are picking up the bill for Covid-19, whilst big brands like @amazon, @Nike and @nextofficial grow their profits! Don't let them get away with it. #PayYourWorkers

Women mass-protest in the streets tonight. After all of the unthinkable military repression.
The Myanmar people continue to protest every day, after so many days of being gunned down in the streets. It’s a truly historic feat of human courage and spirit, without comparison.

Are @Nike, @Converse, @hm, @adidas, @UnderArmour listing the activists of SPN in Indonesia? It's time to #PayYourWorkers & #RespectLabourRights. Setting up a severance guarantee fund ensuring that workers won't go penniless after losing a job only costs #10Centsmore per t-shirt.

Shame on you @HM. We’re not fooled by your conscious points system. We know you’re using it to deflect from any meaningful assessment of your own sustainability credentials & to put the onus on consumers.
We haven’t forgotten about Jeyasre, either. We demand #JusticeForJeyasre✊🏽

Today we stand in solidarity and commemorate Jeyasre. A young woman with hopes and dreams, the first person in her village to go to college. However this was brutally shattered by the murderous reality of the @hm supply chain.

From Japan, JTNC Watch is telling brands such as @Nike, @amazon, @nextofficial: #PayYourWorkers #RespectLabourrights. They're one of the over 220 organisations supporting the campaign. Have you signed the petition? 🖊️payyourworkers.org 📢 12,000+ people have already done so.

This is great news for Jeyasre's family but only the beginning. We need @hm to eliminate GBV from their supply chain and protect women. Start with signing the binding agreement on gender-based violence!!!
Tickover retweeted
Today is the three-month anniversary of Jeyasre's horrific murder. Join the day of action to stand in solidarity, and to demand #JusticeForJeyasre and an end to gender based violence in the fashion industry.

On BBC Radio 4 right now, our friends at @labourlabel calling for a Garment Trade Adjudicator - essential given recent outrages over low pay in the garment sector at home and abroad.

It is nearly 3 months since the rape and murder of Jeyasre Kathiravel. Once the independent third-party investigation is completed, @hm & other brands must sign enforceable agreement to protect women workers from harassment & violence. #JusticeforJeyasre
