AFWA reports gender based violence in top fashion brands

Three new reports by a coalition including the Asia Floor Wage Alliance (AFWA) have documented gender based violence (GBV) in the supply chains of a number of fashion brands including Gap and H&M.

These reports include accounts of widespread physical violence, forced overtime, and sexual harassment against women across Asian countries including India, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka.

The report focuses on gender based violence in the H&M garment supply chain. It includes reports of women working in factories in the brand’s supply chain, including in Indian factories, who have experienced both GBV and sexual harassment.

Report clearly shows the need of continuously addressing these issues.

Nine garment factories that supply clothing to Gap and H&M were investigated by the coalition between January and May this year. Each factory investigated was found to be problematic.
