Global: The Women's Economic Equality Project (WEEP)
In today's global economy, gender inequality is growing. This is evidenced by the increasing poverty of women, and the re-emergence of sweatshops and other forms of economic exploitation, including trafficking in women. On the basis of gender, women of all ages are denied access to basic healthcare, housing, education, and work. Even when employed in high-paying jobs, as in the case of industrialized countries, women's wages are only 60-75% of men's wages.
International Network for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights
CESR participates in building networks to support collaboration and information sharing among social justice and human rights groups across the country and around the world. The International Network for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights is a key organization in this work.
