In late 2022, IWRAW Asia Pacific, in collaboration with 28 organisations, convened the Global Tribunal of Women Workers during our annual Global South Women’s Forum.
The Global Tribunal was a collaborative, constituency-led, transnational and cross-movement initiative which remained steadfast in centering the lived experiences of women workers. Their stories set out to make visible the broad spectrum of women’s work and address the gross human rights violations they continue to face.
Authored by Achalie Kumarage, the Global Tribunal’s outcome document captures the essence of the women workers’ experiences and rights violations that they encountered and survived. The discussion draws directly from the testimonies of women workers and their words, which are integrated into the narrative of the tribunal here.
