Testimonials

Take a look at the story of Cividep, which recently celebrated its 20th anniversary. The film captures how a small civil society effort bloomed into an enduring venture to secure decent work for marginalised workers.

In these times of the dwindling role of worker collectives, organisations like Cividep are needed. They can initiate research studies on working conditions or make connections with international networks or  businesses to make changes at the industry level.

Suhasini Singh, Regional Coordinator for South Asia, Fair Wear Foundation 

I was a garment worker who started working in 2002. I learnt the importance of coming together to harness our collective bargaining power through Cividep’s training programs on labour rights and collectivisation.
