No Sweat is planning a new project with the TTUC that will be launched in the coming months, but for now you can find out more about the union and their inspiring work on our podcast. nosweat.org.uk/podcast/4-just…
Thank you @No_Sweat for your continuing solidarity and support. We hope the #JusticeforJeyasre campaign & Dindigul Agreement continue to inspire and show the world, the power of feminist organizing, and the deep potential for change in garment supply chains.

“We need to challenge the culture of the supply chain. Why do we continue to empower the powerholder at the expense of the worker?” - Thivya Rakini, Trade Union Leader at @tamil_labour @OECD_BizFin #TIWW #24Dashboard @fairwear_org @apprlcoalition @ethicaltrade
The entire CCC network is saying YES to #CSDDD!
One of the slogans of first women's day was 'Bread and Roses' - highlighting the need for better wages and a better quality of life. We need to return & re-assert the radical roots of the #feminist movement, calling for social justice, living wages and decent work for all
Thanks to our panelists for the fruitful inputs & discussion on worker-led agreements to address workplace related risks & harms: @JorisOldenziel (@SafetyAccord), Nandita Shivakumar (@asia_floorwage, @LaborSolidariti) & Thivya Rakini Sesuraj(@tamil_labour) at our Working Meeting!
I interviewed Thivya Rakini, president of Tamil Nadu's first women-run labour union on her fight to stop the epidemic of sexual violence facing garment workers in our fashion supply chains. A truly astounding woman. theguardian.com/global-develop…
“Binding agreements create long term relationships and trust between suppliers, trade unions and brands. This improves relationships, which can improve worker retention & worker well-being.” - Thivya Rakini, Trade Union Leader at @tamil_labour @OECD_BizFin #TIWW #24Dashboard
There's limited space for workers in important international forums. It is important that we create spaces for them, see them as changemakers with ideas and solutions. We need to create solutions with them, not just for them. - Thivya Rakini, Trade Union Leader @tamil_labour
Join us today, as we speak about the 'worker-centric solutions' to address the pressing problems in today's global garment supply chains.

In under 13 mins, @JeffBezos took what a typical person earns in a lifetime🤯 Gross example of what our recent report showed: monopolists hoard wealth via dominant industries to suck wealth out of our societies Their money is #TakenNotEarned ➡️somo.nl/taken-not-earn…
💵We're living in an era of monopolies. 🏦Companies & wealth are increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few billionaires, & fashion is no exception. To the surprise of no one, this harms people, our democracy & the environment. @SOMO reports: somo.nl/taken-not-earn…
World's wealthiest billionaires have a common secret: they're monopolists❗ Our new data shows how some of the world’s richest billionaires have hoarded wealth via industries so dominant, they can leverage their power to suck wealth out of our societies lnkd.in/djsVs7eD
On #MahaparinirvanDiwas, we bow to Babasaheb Ambedkar, the Dalit icon who dared to dream of equality.✊ His fight lives on in our struggle for Eradicating caste discrimination. Let's honor him with action, not just words. Build the India he envisioned. #JaiBhim
At the #UNForumBHR, let's remember that global supply chains can hide exploitation. Dalit workers often endure bonded labour, hazardous work & child labour. It's time to address these issues in responsible supply chains. #CasteGenderJustice #EndCasteDiscrimination
The Oversight Committee of the Dindigul Agreement welcomes the first annual report detailing the successful prevention & remediation of gender-based violence & harassment #gbvh against garment workers in Dindigul. 👏👏 /1 @tamil_labour @GLJhub @ILRF
Thank you @BehanBox for sharing the story of Dindigul Agreement. We look forward to more fashion brands & suppliers joining the agreement. #Dalitwomen #GBVH #TamilNadu
