Global South-led labor and social alliance supporting garment workers in Asia

The Asia Floor Wage Alliance (AFWA) is an Asian labour-led global labour and social alliance across garment-producing countries in Asia and consumer regions of USA and Europe. Founded in 2007, AFWA builds regional unity among Asian garment unions to overcome the limitations of country-based struggles in global production networks and holds global fashion brands accountable.

AFWA’s historic cross-border living wage formulation for Asian garment workers is also the only women-centered formulation that takes into account unpaid care costs. AFWA builds leadership of women garment workers to lead struggles for decent work at national and international levels and is committed to an expansive notion of employment relationships that includes home workers.
