Women's Economic Justice

Our goal is that women have a legitimate voice and benefit equitably from social change.

We work with global brands, government and local implementing partners to develop and implement sustainable projects in factories focused on health, economic resilience, labor rights and the elimination of gender-based violence through system-wide approaches.

CARE works with socially marginalised women experiencing multiple denial of their rights.

In Cambodia, CARE has over 20 years of experience working in the garment sector and has developed a range of high-quality, inclusive, sustainable and adaptable engagement models to offer. We work with companies, unions, donors and the government to address gender-based violence, sexual harassment, women’s leadership, worker well-being, labor rights and ethical supply chains.

CARE focuses on developing ways of engaging with workers and management teams to ensure the impact continues beyond our project. With our team’s extensive experience engaging with the garment sector, we understand the challenges faced by management and can work with factories to meet their needs. ​

Our experience shows when workers feel safe at work, have better access to healthcare, are equipped with key life skills, and are included in decision-making, this leads to numerous positive outcomes for both workers and businesses. ​
