Partner Spotlight
En EspañolILRF has advocated before the consumer public, labor and women’s rights communities, and government and multilateral institutions for better protections for working women’s rights, in particular for an end to workplace violence and for improvements in the global cut flower industry. In 2006 to 2007, ILRF teamed up with partner organizations in developing countries to conduct research and develop strategic domestic workplans.

Action is needed to stop Dole from a repeat of what happened to workers of Splendor when they tried to bargain for a contract. Dole has a chance to redeem itself by respecting worker rights. Send an email to Dole demanding they negotiate in good faith with the Fragancia workers.
