Garment workers and leaders from Indonesia continue to stand in solidarity with Pushpalatha and garment workers everywhere. The message to Brandix and Victoria's Secret remains the same 11 months after Pushpalatha's death: no more secrets, no more lies, value workers’ lives! Global Labor Justice

Victoria's Secret claims to have supplier standards. Brandix claims to have occupational health and safety systems. Nearly a year after Pushpalatha’s death, the question is no longer whether their standards and systems exist on paper. The question is what those policies have actually delivered.

How do you support 2 parents and yourself on $210 a month? That is the reality for Chheng Sophea, a garment worker for over 2 decades. AFWA-Cambodia and its allies call on employers and policymakers in Cambodia to listen to workers like Sophea.

The Dindigul Agreement was proven to have addressed gender-based violence and harassment in garment factories, yet major brands have now abandoned the model that is grounded in freedom of association and protects women workers. To read more: tr.ee/8iclRl @globallaborjustice.bsky.social
