Womens Rights Workshops
1993-2003
Colectiva de Mujeres Hondureñas (CODEMUH) has worked to defend
Honduran women's rights for over ten years, organizing their first
workshop for women who work in the maquilas in 1993. Since 1995,
they have worked in Choloma and Villa Nueva, two cities with a high
number of maquilas, where 80 percent of the workers are female.
Their work in San Pedro Sula began in 1998. This project consists
of providing workshops for women who work in the maquilas of these
three cities. The workshops teach women how to identify the relationship
between health and work, to evaluate the work environment, and to
recognize the risk of repetitive movements and other occupational
hazards, sicknesses, and accidents. The information gathered through
the workshops and personal testimonies is being compiled in educational
brochures to be widely distributed. For more information contact
Colectiva de Mujeres Hondureñas. (mujeresfem@codemuh.123.hn)
Womens Rights Campaign
2001-2002
Asociación Andar organized a media campaign to further increase
women's knowledge of their rights including radio spots, the distribution
of one hundred copies of a summary of the laws on women's rights,
two workshops on negotiation with the women workers, and a tour
to learn about the experience of other women workers who have defended
their labor rights. Asociación Andar, which began to work
in the Choluteca region in southwestern Honduras after Hurricane
Mitch, provides assistance with housing, gardening, public and reproductive
health, and organizing communities to better advocate for themselves,
especially women. It is the only NGO working with women in the agro-export
industries in the region. For more information contact Asociación
Andar. (narda@andar.sdnhon.org.hn)
