STITCH, Women Organizing for Worker Justice

STITCH is a network of women unionists, organizers, and activists that builds connections between Central American and US women organizing for economic justice.

Women in Central America and the U.S. face similar challenges in the workplace, especially when it comes to low wages, discrimination, insufficient childcare services and dangerous working conditions. To change these shared conditions, STITCH, founded in 1998, unites Central American and U.S. women workers to exchange strategies on how to fight for economic justice in the workplace. STITCH equips women with the essential skills through trainings and educational tools, and in the process, builds lasting relationships with women across the two regions, further empowering women in the labor movement. STITCH also ensures women’s voices are heard in global debates and discussions on issues that impact them: globalization, trade agreements, immigration policy, and global labor standards.
