Action Alert:
"Workers' Rights are Human Rights"
CAW is launching an international campaign of workers, women and women workers, to wear a RED HEADSCARF or RED RIBBON on December 10.
This has been proposed and called for by the Labour Forum of the Asia/Pacific People's Assembly Against Globalization, on the occasion of the APEC meeting, held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from 8-15th November.
This is to remember that women and women workers' struggle for our basic rights, have always been going on. While we have made much gains in the course of history, we are now facing serious threats of losing what we have won. So it is time to defend our rights against the relentless wave of destructive "Globalization"!
Workers, women and especially, women workers, are encouraged to wear a red headscarf/red ribbon (whichever is appropriate) on this day, to show your solidarity and reaffirm your committment to the workers' and women struggle!
Please help spread this message to your community, organizations that you belong or work with and your friends. If you have any further questions or any other ideas how we can spread this campaign, please feel free to contact us at the secretariat. We will give you whatever support you need to make this action successful! Thank you for your cooperation in advance.
You can contact us either at CAW's e-mail address - cawhk@hk.super.net .
