Breaking the Global Production Chain: Thai women's struggles for economic rights and justice

Junya Lek Yimprasert

Development, 2006, vol. 49, issue 1, 23-29

Abstract: Junya Lek Yimprasert, founder of the Thai Labor Campaign, reviews workers’ rights in the context of today's fast moving global production chain. She asks women concerned with economic justice to look beyond just dialogue and build global solidarity based on worker's dignity, rights, hearts and lives. It is not short-term charity that is needed but solidarity that paves the way for self-determination, freedom of association and a share in the huge profits that are built on the exploitation of so many women in sweatshops around the world.
