Women Working Worldwide
In this article we trace the history of a new form of labour internationalism that emerged in support of women workers' organizations, in particular in the garment industry, from the 1980s. We tell the story of the emergence of Women Working Worldwide (WWW), a small UK-based NGO that provides solidarity and support for a network of women workers' organizations in the commodity producing zones of the global South. WWW grew along with other organiz…
Threads of Labour
Humanising the Cut Flower Chain
This article examines a particular international supply chain, the Kenya–UK cut flower supply chain, and looks at the implications of such globalised systems of production for women workers. Using womens’ own accounts of their working lives as presented in recent research data and in campaigning activities within Kenya, it confronts the realities facing women workers. With the proliferation of codes of conduct in the cut flower industry, the impo…

Beyond the barriers
Concern about working conditions in a global supply chain has led unions and NGOs in the North to collaborate on initiatives such as the Clean Clothes Campaign (CCC) and the Ethical Trade Initiative (ETI) in the UK. Relationships have not always been easy, but experience has shown that when trade unions and NGOs work together on particular disputes or campaigns, their differences tend to disappear. These new forms of labour internationalism offer…
Trade liberalisation in the garment industry
World trade is increasingly conditioned by the rules of the World Trade Organisation. In the case of the garment industry this means the phasing out of the Multifibre Arrangement, which has dominated trade in textiles and garments since 1974. This phase-out is seen as benefiting developing countries and criticism focuses on the manner in which the USA and Europe are holding up the process. However, it is important to look at who exactly will gain…
Women Workers and the Promise of Ethical Trade in the Globalised Garment Industry
The paper gives an overview of the recent development within the Ethical Trade Initiative (ETI), especially the development of corporate codes of conduct, and considers the prospects they offer for improving labour conditions for workers in the international garments industry. It argues that two specific features of the industry—competitive production systems based on international subcontracting and the use of predominantly female production wor…
Technologies of Control and Resistance; New Technology and Women Workers in the Globalized Garment Industry
What Hope for ‘Ethical’ Trade in the Globalised Garment Industry
The deregulated global economy
This article discusses the lack of input from women in international debates about the global economy. Women in the South are the most vulnerable to exploitation and most ignored in international discussions of how to protect fair labor standards. Restructuring has led to loss of secure jobs in the public sector and the expansion of female employment in low-paid, insecure, unskilled jobs. Businesses desire a cheap and flexible workforce. Declines…
