AMRC in collaboration with other 13 organisations and networks conducted a series of 4 workshops in the platform of World Social Forum 2024 on the 17th February in Kathmandu, Nepal. There were more than 200 participants from over 14 countries of Asia and Europe. The workshops include:
The Asian Roundtable on Social Protection (AROSP) was established more than 10 years ago. For the past several years, AROSP members have contributed to many achievements on the way toward transformative social protection to change structural poverty by addressing fiscal policies and power imbalances. This grassroots modalities collection is drawn from their stories, focusing on the success that organizations have had in advocating for social protection policy in Asia.
While health hazards and poor working conditions inside electronics factories have been well documented, few studies extensively cover these issues in terms of gender relations. This research attempts to establish a causal relationship between exposure to certain chemicals and the implications for reproductive health and investigates the issues that affect women workers more directly.
*This manual was updated in May 2016 with the new regulations in China.
This training manual was produced by China Labor Support Network (CLSN) for their training workshop on the Reproductive Health of Women workers in the garments and electronics manufacturing industries, mainly because of the higher concentration of women employees in these industries.
Asia Monitor Resource Centre (AMRC), recently concluded a Partners Meeting in Bangkok, Thailand.The event, held between 26-28 October 2015, brought together 55 participants from 42 organisations from 13 countries across Asia.
Below are posters that are available for download.
The posters highlight the fact that women workers, although they must juggle the roles of provider, mother, wife and so many more, can also be effective leaders. As leaders in their communities, associations, or unions, they can represent and advocate for the needs and demands of other women, which are often ignored when women's voices are marginalised.
