The Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions - Women’s Affairs Committee Chairperson Cheung Lai Ha, General Secretary of the Clothing Industry, Clerical and Retail Trade Employees General Union, affiliate of ITGLWF and UNI Global Union together with HKCTU hosted a “Bread and Roses” International Women’s Day Rally at Nathan Road, the busiest shopping center in Hong Kong. The rally was also participated by Migrants’ Organizations. Holding a loaf of “Bread” = Women Workers work very hard trying to get 3 meals a day and “Roses” = Dignity for all Women Workers, they marched on Nathan Road and handed out “Roses” and “Rose Bookmarks” to pedestrians and tourists, hoping the public will support their demands of “Equal Work - Equal Pay” and “Dignity for Women Workers”. The union members also asked the HKSAR government to fully implement the “CEDAW” in Hong Kong. |
