Asian Dialogues Series: Tackling Gender-Based Violence in Garment Factories

Gender-based violence and harassment (GBVH) is a critical concern in the garment and textile sector across Asia. This online seminar explores how industry actors are working together to create safer, healthier factory environments. It highlights the need for awareness, shared responsibility, and effective tools for prevention and remediation of GBVH.

Speakers from brands, manufacturers, worker organisations, and policy circles reflect on their roles and commitments, with practical strategies and examples. This session calls for joint action to embed safety, dignity, and respect throughout supply chains.
