Urgent Appeal Cases

What do you do if you are a garment worker or activist and your rights are being violated and you are unable to resolve the abuse? You can then ring the bell with a local organisation at the worldwide network of Clean Clothes Campaign (CCC). The CCC network then checks whether an Urgent Appeal can be made. We then do everything we can to support the garment workers or activists, together with local organisations in the country where the violation takes place, and activists and organisations all over the world.

Asia is the garment factory of the world, but the sector remains an array of problems to solve, including transition towards a more sustainable business model, with improved wages and working conditions. While few garment factories operate in East Asia today, many East Asian companies still play important roles in the garment supply chain. However, since most of the East Asian garment companies do not operate in their own countries and shifted their production to other lower-cost countries, it creates further hurdles for oversea workers to seek remedies.

労働者からの要請に迅速に対応するために

緊急行動とは、衣料産業で発生した権利侵害を受けて労働者が外部の支援を要請した際に、迅速に対応するための措置です。1989年にクリーンクローゼスキャンペーンが創設されて以降、衣料やスポーツウェアを生産する労働者に対して、40の国で起こったおよそ450もの権利侵害事案を緊急行動と認定して、クリーンクローゼスキャンペーンの活動家が支援を行いました。
