Women Working Worldwide’s vision is of a world where equality is a reality. Our core mission is to work in partnership with grassroots organisations and Unions around the world, to assist and empower women workers in global supply chains to claim their rights and gain decent wages for their work. 
We work with companies to advocate on behalf of women workers, and we advise companies on how to best to meet their commitments to gender equality and women’s rights across their supply chains.
Women workers in global supply chains often lack power and voice, and have the most precarious and low paid jobs, yet they are essential in achieving the production and quality targets of suppliers to major retailers in the UK and Europe. We also recognise that work in global supply chains such as garments, horticulture and flowers offer vital opportunities for women to earn a living, provide for their families and improve their social and economic standing.
