Picture
Some 200  women union leaders from around the globe gathered this week in New York City to strategize on achieving gender equality on the job--including ending gender-based violence at work. The Solidarity Center, the AFL-CIO and partners held the events in conjunction with the March 13–24 meeting of the United Nations Committee on the Status of Women (CSW). “We cannot wait for men to help us. We women have to do it," said Sophorn Yang (right), a garment worker union organizer from Cambodia. Find out more at the Solidarity Center.
