Letter to Walmart re gender based violence

See all tags

I write...to share outcomes from our research into gender based violence in Walmart suppliers in key garment production countries in Asia...we respectfully request that Walmart take the following actions...:

1. Publicly support and commit to proactively implement an ILO Convention and Recommendation on Gender Based Violence that includes the recommendations from the Asia Floor Wage Alliance and partners.

2. Meet with the Asia Floor Wage Women's Leadership Committee in the next three months to discuss the supply chain findings and next steps.

3. Proactively work with the Asia Floor wage Alliance to pilot women's committees in factories in factories that eliminate gender based violence and discrimination from the supplier factories.
