Since 1984, the NGWF has been campaigning to ensure fair wages, equal
rights, dignity and the empowerment of women garment workers. As well as
organising workers in the factories into trade unions and factory
committees, we have provided training and education, undertaken
campaigning and lobbying in Bangladesh, and put pressure on garment
factory owners, the government and multinationals. We have also won
legal aid for victimised workers, as well as taking dispute resolutions
through the established legal mechanisms. Mobilising solidarity between
garment workers, retail workers and consumers in the North, and with
trade unions in the South, has also been a priority.
