In the past 30 years, the global supply chains have been instrumental in providing women with a gateway into the formal workforce. This has created remarkable opportunities for women to enhance their skills, augment their earnings and improve their living standards.
Despite the fact that the global supply chains have played a significant role in empowering women, particularly in the garment industry, there are still significant deficits in decent work, which exist in other areas of the labor market, such as discrimination, violence, and harassment.
As per ILO, garment industry, if it adopts more equitable policies and takes action, it could help millions of workers rise above poverty and foster inclusive economic growth.
