Synopsis
| The program will strengthen labor rights protections consistent with labor rights commitments and support labor rights reforms in strategic partner countries with existing Agreements on Reciprocal Trade (ARTs). This program will support garment workers to help them better understand and exercise their labor rights, freely associate, and access timely, non-retaliatory remedies for workplace abuses across the garment supply chain. Activities may include supporting workers and worker organizations to organize and advocate for their rights, documenting labor rights violations, promoting accountability and remediation for workplace abuses, and engaging employers, civil society, and government stakeholders to improve compliance with labor standards and working conditions in the garment sector. By strengthening implementation of labor provisions in trade agreements and supporting labor rights reforms aligned with the Trump administration’s trade and economic policy, this program will support a more level playing field for responsible businesses and reinforces U.S. economic and strategic interests in key manufacturing markets. | |
