Op-ed: Worker-led programs are tackling gender-based violence in supply chains, but they’re at risk

Re:Structure Lab Co-Principal Investigator Genevieve LeBaron and McMaster University Labour Studies Professor Judy Fudge have published an op-ed in The Conversation titled “Worker-led programs are tackling gender-based violence in supply chains, but they’re at risk.” The op-ed emphasizes the effectiveness of worker-led detection and remediation systems to address gender-based violence and harassment.

LeBaron and Fudge also shed light on the potential impacts of American funding cuts, DEI rollbacks, and global trade upheaval on the progress of these worker-led initiatives.
