Check out this new piece by FORGE member True Costs Initiative ED, Conniel Malek, on her reflections on community lawyering after a two-week site visit to meet with grantee partners in Thailand! “Community lawyering affirms the preeminence of the community desires, community strategy and community vision for their future when it comes to holding corporations accountable. Traditional lawyering has to take a page from that book.”

As climate change intensifies gender-based violence and harassment in the world of work, women workers are rising against it. FORGE, in partnership with Devex, is proud to announce the launch of “Women Rising,” a narrative series spotlighting the intersection of gender-based violence and harassment and climate change in the world of work. The series explores the essential leadership of women workers, particularly migrant workers and those in the informal economy, as drivers of inclusive and disruptive change. Crucially, this series highlights women workers’ pivotal role in advocating for the the adoption and implementation of International Labor OrganizationConvention (C190), the first international treaty to recognize the right of everyone to work free from violence and harassment, including gender-based violence and harassment. Each piece explores the criticality of women worker leadership in shifting power and influencing policy.

Today, we're launching our new series, Women Rising! 🙋♀️ Join us to explore the intersection of gender-based violence and harassment and climate change in the world of work. #DevexSeries on #WomenRising · #Sponsored by FORGE: Funders Organized for Rights in the Global Economy
Women workers are making the world of work safer through the implementation of International Labour Organization Convention 190 (ILO C190) — the first international treaty to recognize the right of everyone to work free from violence and harassment. The ILO C190 is especially important for protecting women in the informal economy and migrant workers, and long term implementation of the convention must recognize and respond to the impacts of escalating climate change on worker safety. Check out our new piece in partnership with Devex featuring discussions with leaders at the forefront of the movement about what is needed to implement ILO C190.
Corporate power in the climate ecosystem is on the rise, but it must be curbed to ensure a people-centered, just energy transition. As governments try to involve willing corporate partners in a just, green, transition, strong transparency and enforcement provisions are needed to ensure that public investments don’t fall prey to corruption or misuse. Dalberg and Open Society Foundations partnered to identify key roles for philanthropy to support government efforts to boost corporate transparency and accountability. To learn more, check out this new article co-authored by our ED Jana M. and Rachna Saxena of Dalberg!
