On Monday, November 8th, GLJ-ILRF hosted the 2021 Labor Rights Defenders Roundtable Event titled “Women Leading Change: From Forced Labor to the Freedom of Association.” The roundtable celebrated five powerful women labor leaders who are creating innovative models to defend labor rights and build worker power around the world. They include Julie Su, Deputy Secretary of Labor of the United States Department of Labor; Mrs. Ma Moe Sandar Myint, Chairwoman of the Federation of Garment Workers Myanmar (FGWM); Allison Lee (Lee Li Hua), Secretary General of Yilan Migrant Fishermen Union (YMFU); Roza Agaydarova, Founder of Adolat Sari Olg’a (Onward Toward Justice); and Iris Munguía, Secretaria de la Mujer (Secretary of Women) of Federación Sindical Agrícola (Federation of Industrial Agriculture Unions). Featuring simultaneous interpretation in English, Spanish, Chinese, Russian, and Burmese, the online event attracted an audience of nearly 200 viewers from over 26 different countries and 108 organizations. 

 

It was our honor to celebrate these visionary women labor leaders who are on the frontlines of worker and gender justice! You can watch a recording of the event here, read a statement from our Executive Director here, and read more about the event highlights here.
