All people have a right to dignified work, fair pay, and safe working conditions. Yet too often, corporations put profits before their responsibility to respect basic human rights. 

Partners for Dignity and Rights collaborates with worker-led organizations and communities to win and enforce those rights.

Partners for Dignity & Rights anchors the transnational Worker-driven Social Responsibility Network. Through the Network, we partner with workers’ organizations to advance creative, effective enforcement programs including:

• Agreements to Prevent and Combat Gender-Based Violence and Harassment in Lesotho;
• Fair Food Program;
• International Accord For Health And Safety In The Textile And Garment Industry;
• Milk with Dignity Program.

Partners for Dignity and Rights has worked deeply over decades with worker organizations to develop some of the foundational elements of these programs. These programs have been recognized globally as defining best practices for protecting workers’ rights and furthering corporate accountability.  

Today, Partners for Dignity and Rights collaborates with worker organizations to:

• Build a world where corporate impunity is out and worker-driven corporate accountability is the norm;
• Build on these best practices and adapt enforcement models to the unique challenges of their own industries and geographies; 
• Sharpen their analysis of the shadowy networks of corporate power that help drive exploitation in their workplace and industry; 
• Develop strategic campaigns to take on corporations and win both basic rights and structural change.
