Labour and Gender

Asia remains a difficult place for women workers to work. In our patriarchal societies, women workers are discriminated against, marginalised, and their work is undervalued, even as they comprise the majority of Asia’s working population. In labour organisations, women workers are rarely represented in leadership positions even in organisations where the membership is predominantly women. AMRC believes that women workers must be heard and be able to lead in order to build a strong, democratic, inclusive and fair labour movement in the region.

  • AMRC supports partner grassroots organisations to build women workers’ collective power, and build their capacity to lead and fight for their rights
  • AMRC works to ensure that women workers and their organisations are able to identify, articulate their issues and make their demands heard and met.
  • Through various platforms at the national or regional levels, AMRC brings together leaders and activists to network, build alliances and solidarity.
