“Without gender equality, we cannot have worker rights, and without worker rights, we cannot have gender equality,” said Solidarity Center Senior Gender Specialist Lisa McGowan (r), speaking last week in Brazil. McGowan and other worker rights' activists from around the world were among 1,800 participants at the 2016 Association for Women's Rights in Development (AWID) conference, where a panel on ending gender-based violence at the workplace was among several sessions sponsored by the Solidarity Center.
