The Global Civil Society Strengthening (GCSS) Anti-Sweatshop Initiative aims to improve conditions for workers in sweatshops by strengthening South-South and North-South linkages between organizations within the Anti-Sweatshop movement. AED provides small grants to four non-profit, non-governmental organizations working to improve sweatshop labor conditions in El Salvador, Mexico, South China and India. The organizations funded by the project have conducted a ground-breaking study on working conditions in the electronic export processing zones in India; established the Occupational Safety and Health Resources and Education Center for South China; supported a capacity-building training program for women’s rights groups working with maquiladora workers on the Mexican border and established a Web site with monthly summaries of developments for Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras.
