With women making up most factory floor and agricultural workers, ETI has released new business guidance for companies on empowering women in supply chains.
Multinational retailer and ETI member, Marks & Spencer, is working to eliminate sexual harassment and gender discrimination in its India supply chain. Reaching around 12,000 women across India, the programme is the focus of a short film published today by ETI.
ETI conducted a gender analysis as part of its ongoing focus on gender equality within workplaces and global supply chains, women workers' rights and the issues they face at work.
While all the evidence shows that sexual harassment is a huge problem faced by women in garment factories in Bangladesh and India, it somehow does not appear in corrective action plans in audits.
