The Empowering Women in the Mexican Workplace project seeks to improve labor conditions for women in Mexico by increasing their leadership in unions, strengthening safeguards against workplace harassment and abuse, and advocating for fair wages and compliance with minimum labor standards. By promoting fair labor practices and safer work environments, the project supports greater economic stability and resilience, benefiting both Mexican and U.S. workers. This initiative is funded by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Trade and Labor Affairs.
The project collaborates with civil society organizations to engage women workers, unions, employer associations, and other key stakeholders. By incorporating women’s labor rights into existing labor programs, the project strengthens protections that are essential for ensuring ethical labor practices and fair competition in North American supply chains.
By improving workplace conditions for women in Mexico, the project helps build stronger labor institutions and supports economic growth, advancing shared prosperity between the U.S. and Mexico.
