What does workers’ rights have to do with gender violence? Everything. In this workshop participants will learn about the origins of exploitation culture and how it sets the scene for sexual violence, how workers are fighting sexual violence from a different angle through developing the leadership of survivors of worker exploitation to change the policy, heal from violence, and empower themselves and their communities.
