Room CC6

Description

Organised by Leigh Day This session is led by a partner organisation and may not reflect the views of the OECD.

Workers in the global garment and footwear industry often face severe exploitation, including unlawful labour practices, gender-based violence, and exposure to hazardous conditions. The panellists centre the experiences of these workers in the fight for justice. The discussion will explore the themes that lead to human rights litigation, how workers can enforce their rights and secure remedies, and the implementation of community-focused restorative justice measures. The session seeks to identify impactful strategies to empower workers and their communities. Please note that this session will not be livestreamed.
