IWRAW Asia Pacific in collaboration with women’s rights organisations, labour rights organisations and unions, activists and workers will co-convene the Global Tribunal of Women Workers during its annual Global South Women’s Forum (GSWF), 24-28 September and 9 October 2022.

During the 66th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW66) in March 2022, we launched the Global Tribunal of Women Workers to challenge duty-bearers to account for their role in perpetrating, enabling, or failing to punish violations and discrimination against women in the world of work. We will crowdsource narratives and testimonies of women workers and situate their struggles within a broader women’s movement to demand accountability of duty-bearers. The Global Tribunal aims to redress the gross human rights violations and power imbalances experienced by workers by creating an alternative, worker-centered venue to demand accountability, strengthen solidarity, and develop evidence-based policies pursuant to international human rights and labour standards.

We invite like-minded and interested groups and individuals to join this global movement for solidarity, crowdsourcing and co-creating the tribunal at #GSWF2022 in September 2022.
