The garment and footwear sector is one of the largest consumer goods sectors in the world and there is a risk that the sector does not comply with the OECD guidelines.\u00a0The guidance<\/a> can help enterprises to avoid negative impact from their business and provides specific advice for enterprises in this sector. The guidance includes a practical framework for due diligence and is a useful tool to manage demanding situations in a complex sector.<\/p>\n

A gender dimension<\/h3>\n

Women account for a majority of the work force in the garment and footwear sector and are vulnerable to risks of harm. Women are more likely to be paid lower wages than men; women are more often linked to precarious, informal or irregular employment; and low-income women workers are particularly vulnerable to harassment in the workplace. The guidance therefore recommends that enterprises focus on women and integrates a gender perspective in all stages of due diligence.<\/p>\n

The guidance was developed through a multi-stakeholder process with global actors such as the business sector, civil society, trade unions, academia and governments.<\/p>\n
