Labour Rights

We engage directly with workers in India’s most significant export sectors: garment, leather, and electronics industries, coffee and tea plantations. We educate them about rights, help them come together, and guide them in grievance redressal.

We are a team of committed researchers & policy analysts who seek decent work for all. Cividep partners with workers, collectives and brands to undertake in-depth research, awareness creation and stakeholder engagement. Our focus: low wage workers in export-oriented sectors. Through our work we aim to safeguard workers’ rights and change the way corporates work in global supply chains.

Business & Human Rights

We hold corporations responsible for their business decisions through research into working conditions, convene multi-stakeholder forums to promote fair workplaces and advocate policy change. The aim is to ensure responsible business conduct towards workers & the environment.

Testimonials

Take a look at the story of Cividep, which recently celebrated its 20th anniversary. The film captures how a small civil society effort bloomed into an enduring venture to secure decent work for marginalised workers.

In these times of the dwindling role of worker collectives, organisations like Cividep are needed. They can initiate research studies on working conditions or make connections with international networks or  businesses to make changes at the industry level.

Suhasini Singh, Regional Coordinator for South Asia, Fair Wear Foundation 

I was a garment worker who started working in 2002. I learnt the importance of coming together to harness our collective bargaining power through Cividep’s training programs on labour rights and collectivisation.
