										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the past few months we managed to raise 20 000 Euros, a big share of this sum was covered by the International Confederation of Labour (ICL-CIT). For 10 000 Euros, the FGWM already ordered pads and started distributing inside factories them: 5 packages each to 5 000 workers in total. It was the FGWM who approached us with this idea in the first place and asked the FAU/ICL to support their actions.</p>

<span id="more-3513"></span>



<p>While the fundraiser kicked off already, a severe earthquake hit Myanmar. Many houses and urban infrastructure were destroyed. Consequently we decided to open up the fundraiser to additionally support 200 families of workers who are affected by the earthquake with powerbanks, tarps and mosquito nets. Again, it were the members of FGWM who told us what they needed and what we should collect the funds for.</p>



<p>We are aware of the complexity when it comes to organizing money flows from people in “the West” to people in Southeast Asia, since such projects always contain hierarchies. At the same time we acknowledge that much of the wealth is accumulated in “the West” because of the exploitation in poverty striken regions with very low wages. Therefore we see a clear responsibility on our part to organize redistribution. Even if this is just a tiny share, we try to make a step towards the right direction.</p>



<p class="translation-block">We don't do charity: At the same time, we support the fight of our comrades who are fighting for a life of dignity. We organize demonstrations, like the one on <a href="https://hamburg.fau.org/english/2025/04/05/bericht-zur-kundgebung-demo-am-08-maerz/" target="_self">March 8th in Hamburg</a>, in front of the stores of brands whose labels are printed on products made in Myanmar, such as Only, H&amp;M, Zara, Hunkemöller, NewYorker, Lululemon, and Adidas. In labor struggles, we address the management of the brands and factories on various levels. And occasionally, we raise money. As people in a more privileged part of the world – like Europe – we are directly connected to the sweat and labor of factory workers through the supply chain. Therefore, we have the responsibility to do our part in ending exploitation.</p>



<p>The comrades need support to keep up their struggles. Together we already raised money to finance safe houses, support for families of union members who lost their jobs because of their involvement in protests, pay for medical treatment or plan organizing workshops for workers. With our last fundraiser menstrual products were provided because the workers could not afford them anymore and risked infections when using left over fabric from the factories instead.</p>



<p>At the same time we – comrades of FAU and comrades of FGWM – rallied for free availability of menstrual products inside the factories, clean sanitary facilities and menstrual leave. Hang Kei factory – producing for Hunkemöller – did react and since May 2025 the toilets get cleaned regularly, there are menstrual pads in the factory clinic for all who need them, they installed ACs and there is a room for mothers who are nursing. It’s only one factory of many that we were reaching out to, but it is a start! <a href="https://globalmayday.net/2025/05/27/solidarity-wins-hang-kei-factory/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Die Fabrik Hang Kei, die für Hunkemöller produziert, hat reagiert</a> und seit Mai 2025 werden die Toiletten regelmäßig geputzt, es werden Binden in der Fabrik bereitgestellt für alle, die sie brauchen, es wurden Klimaanlagen installiert und es gibt einen Rückzugsraum für stillende Mütter. Es ist nur eine von vielen Fabriken, an die wir uns gewandt haben, aber es ist ein Anfang!</p>



<p>We need more comrades who support our joined actions so we can put more pressure on brands and factory owners around the world. It’s worth it.</p>



<p>Thank you all for supporting us!<br><br>Further information can be found here: <a href="https://www.fgwm-solidarity.org/">https://www.fgwm-solidarity.org/</a></p>



<p>Solidarity is our weapon!<br>Dare to fight – dare to win!</p>

<p>Die schlechten Bedingungen für sanitäre Einrichtungen und der Mangel an Menstruationsprodukten stellen Fabrikarbeiterinnen weltweit vor große Probleme. Die Federation of General Workers Myanmar (FGWM) hat zusammen mit der Arbeitsgruppe Asien des Internationalen Gewerkschaftsbundes (ICL) einen internationalen Aufruf gestartet, um am 8. März den feministischen Kampftag zu begehen und auf Veränderungen in den Fabriken zu drängen.</p>



<p>Am 8. März werden die Fabrikarbeiterinnen versuchen, die Geschäftsführung und die Eigentümer über ihre Forderungen zu informieren. Alle Genossinnen und Genossen weltweit können dazu beitragen, den Druck zu erhöhen, indem sie sich an die beteiligten Einzelhändler und Marken wenden und zum Beispiel die von den Fabrikgewerkschaften vor Ort aufgestellten Forderungen an die Geschäftsleitung weitergeben.</p>



<p>Dem Aufruf sind Genoss*innen der FAU aus verschiedenen deutschen Städten gefolgt. Unter anderem in Berlin, Dortmund, Freiburg, Göttingen, Kassel, Lübeck, Magdeburg, Rostock und Hamburg. <br><br><strong>Kundgebung &amp; Demo in Hamburg</strong><br>Am 8. März nahmen etwa 20 Personen an einer Mini-Kundgebung in der Hamburger Innenstadt teil. Ziel der Kundgebung war es, verschiedene Geschäfte, nämlich H&amp;M, New Yorker, ZARA und RESERVED mit den Forderungen der FGWM zu konfrontieren.<br><br>Briefe mit den Forderungen wurden auch an die Geschäftsleitungen von Hunkemöller, ONLY und Vero Moda im Einkaufszentrum Europa Passage übergeben. An jeder Station wurden Reden gehalten. Viele Flugblätter, die über den Kampf und das damit verbundene Crowdfunding informierten, wurden an Kund*innen und Passant*innen verteilt.<br><br>Alle, außer H&amp;M, nahmen den Brief entgegen und bestätigten, ihn an ihre Zentrale weiterzuleiten. Da die H&amp;M Deutschland-Zentrale in Hamburg sitzt, besuchten wir sie am 14. März erneut. Es gelang uns, ihnen einen Brief mit dem Forderungskatalog sowie Bilder von den Kundgebungen vor H&amp;M-Filialen in anderen Städten zu übergeben.</p>



<p>Nach der erfolgreichen Kundgebung, die von Genoss*innen der FAU Hamburg und der IWW Hamburg organisiert wurde, schlossen sich einige von ihnen noch der Hauptkundgebung der 8M mit tausenden von Menschen an. Bei dieser Gelegenheit wurde auch das FGWM-Solidaritätsbanner gezeigt. </p>
