🧵 1/9 The latest @EuroChamMyanmar #Myanmar Garment Sector Factsheet (v2.0), released this month, should be required reading for anyone interested in the country's post-coup labour situation. Incredibly well-researched, referenced and highly relevant. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
In #Myanmar, the military coup and pandemic led 220,000 garment workers to lose their job. 95% are women and often the only source of revenues of their families. Responsible businesses have a significant impact to avoid extreme poverty. Access to decent work is a human right.
Ms. Zar Ni Win, one of several hundred young women to participate in our vocational and life skills trainings shares about her experience in the programme. youtu.be/WSX-LspIkGg
This video is a bit longer, but provides some interesting perspectives from a garment worker and from a factory manager, both trying to navigate the difficulties of the previous year. youtube.com/watch?v=gKBYoF…
youtu.be/eIqy6se9G6k The EU Myan Ku Fund has now supported over 90,000 apparel factory workers with direct cash assistance. Ms. Tint Tint Lwin, one of these beneficiaries, shares her story on how the fund was vital during her family’s lean times, before finding a new job.
Under this proposal, large European companies will be held accountable for human rights violations and environmental harm caused throughout their entire supply chains, including in the textiles sector. @EUMyanmar is working with European business to deliver on this agenda

Humbled by the courage and resilience of these workers we are proud to support with the EU Myan Ku Fund @SMART_Myanmar #StrongerTogether youtu.be/eIqy6se9G6k
@rogerneilbarton You are right, the garment industry of Myanmar has been a success story creating 100,000 new jobs every year, mostly for young women. EU sanctions have been targeted to avoid hurting the people
We are proud to be working with @EUMyanmar @SMART_Myanmar Myan Ku Fund, set up to work with predominantly female garment workers impacted by job losses. @WaveMoney_MM has made more than 140,000 payments since April 2020. #mobilemoney smartmyanmar.org/en/eu-myan-ku-…
On #WomenDay, we laud the resilience and courage of those Myanmar women and girls having the wellbeing of their families in their hands, while their security continues to be threatened. Thanks to #MyanKu the EU continues to support women garment workers 👉smartmyanmar.org/en/eu-myan-ku-…
This is the result of garment factory workers losing their jobs: 👉 m.youtube.com/watch?v=5Sbi1a… Very sad indeed. The #MyanKu fund by the 🇪🇺@SMART_Myanmar project & also Eden - supported by 🇪🇺&other via @LIFTfund is trying to help @EUMyanmar @EU_Partnerships
The @EUMyanmar through the @SMART_Myanmar project and it’s partners - including Trade Unions - worked hard in promoting social and environmental compliance. In these terrible times we and the Trade Unions should double up our efforts in supporting compliance. We are ready
#Myanmar's garment sector has come a long way to its economic achievement, or success as some experts may put it. But it's not without challenges, Rohingya crisis, COVID-19, coup, and now a call for boycott. /l Summarising some contentious points below frontiermyanmar.net/en/garment-wor…
Plus: who will pay for the humanitarian disaster that will be created ?
Anti-coup forces are split on whether brands should leave. @IndustriALL_GU backs the boycott campaign & says “Unions take action when they judge that it will cost their opponents more.” But NUG tells @JohnLiuNN @FrontierMM this won’t hurt the military. frontiermyanmar.net/en/garment-wor…
As Myanmar’s military repression ramps up, some trade unions and activists are calling on brands to boycott the garment sector – but not everyone believes the campaign will hit its intended target. @JohnLiuNN @FrontierMM frontiermyanmar.net/en/garment-wor…
The EU remains committed to promoting socially responsible investing & improving international labour standards with trade policy. At today's #UNGA event on Jobs & Social Protection, Cssr @JuttaUrpilainen called for supporting entrepreneurship & decent work, education & skills.

Our #EU support continues to reach workers in need 👍 By chance, I found a ‘made in Myanmar‘ shirt in a German store this week. For 100thousands of workers it’s better to have a job - rather than nothing #responsiblebusiness @EUMyanmar @SabatucciEU
For the 63rd week, the EU Myan Ku Fund is providing another 1,497 out of work garment workers direct cash assistance (116 million MMK this wk/ over 11 billion MMK total so far). This is about providing essential support for tens of thousands of families during challenging times.
