Watch RISE's sessions on how wage digitalization accelerates financial inclusion in global supply chains and boosts garment workers' financial health & security.

Climate change is already hitting the garment, footwear, and textiles sectors hard. Its impacts are rapidly compounding for both workers and businesses in countries like Bangladesh and Cambodia. 

2024 Annual report: Collaborative Action toward Gender Equality in Supply Chains

C190 informs RISE Respect programmatic work to address gender-based violence and harassment (GBVH) in global garment supply chains.

Key Points:

1. Women workers are underrepresented in leadership roles within factories in the Ready-made-Garment (RGM) supply chains 
2. Existing activities focused on workers’ and supervisors' capacity building to promote women to supervisory roles don’t fully match the expectations of workers or address their concerns  
3. There is an opportunity to explore a broader approach to supporting women’s advancement, beyond supervisory roles, that can get the buy-in of women and support longer term business needs.  

Celebrating its first anniversary on International Women’s Day, RISE is expanding its membership to accelerate its gender equality mission.
