Listening to women in grassroots leadership in a COVID-19 world

Long before COVID-19 hit Sri Lanka’s shores, grassroots women’s organisations fought poverty pay, long hours, and unsafe working conditions in the country s garment manufacturing districts.
These organisations have been advocating for the people producing high-end clothing for brands such as H&M, Next, JC Penny, Benetton, Marks & Spencer, Gap, Victoria’s Secret, Ralph Lauren and Triumph.
Garments account for approximately 45% of Sri Lanka s export income. Up to 85% of workers employed in this sector are women working in assembly line operations, who earn between LKR12,000 and 20,000 per month (A$80 to $130).
Their labour has been crucial in maintaining the Sri Lankan economy through war (1983-2009) and post-war periods, as well as the economic shocks generated through disasters such as the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, or violence such as the Beeshanaya ( Time of terror ) from 1987-91, and the Easter Sunday attacks (2019). ....

For the Revolutionary Existence for Human Development (RED) advocacy group, the government and investors have done nothing to protect the newly jobless workers.
