Covid-19 and the Global Supply Chain: Voices from Myanmar’s Garment Factory Shop Floors
Myanmar provides an interesting case to understand the impact of the Coronavirus on global supply chains because it is one of the largest manufacturing hubs of garments in the region, and as one of the largest populations of migrant workers who travel to other cities in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. However, worker voices have been missing from the robust global dialogue around global supply chains, and this project aims to fill that gap by working with the Myanmar Garment Workers Federation to train ten workers to author op-ed pieces that will be published in open Democracy’s Beyond Trafficking and Slavery editorial platform.
