What is the International Farm Workers Forum about?
Channel: Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung
Date: 05/04/2019

While often kept invisible, farm workers and their trade unions are organizing and struggling for their rights on many fronts. They seek to link up with other actors along supply chains and build pressure on companies through international linkages. Within unions, women play an increasingly important role. They particularly fight against sexual harassment, a key challenge on many plantations. Participants at the International Farm Workers Forum 2018 describe those struggles and report from the Forum. The Forum, an international platform to highlight farmworkers’ interests and organization, is a collaborative project of between the The International Union of Food, Agricultural, Hotel, Restaurant, Catering, Tobacco and Allied Workers' Associations (IUF) and the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung’s Johannesburg Office.
