Founded in 2015, the CCC South Asia Coalition (CCC SAC) unites trade union federations, workers' rights organisations, and research institutions from Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Nepal. Our coalition of 29 members, partners, and allies is dedicated to advocating for and strengthening workers' rights in the Ready-Made Garment (RMG) sector.

We focus on key issues such as:

  • Freedom of Association,
  • Occupational Safety and Health,
  • Minimum Wage reforms,
  • Gender-Based Violence and Harassment, and
  • holding brands accountable for fair labour practices.

More than a decade after the Ali Enterprises fire and the Rana Plaza disaster, workplace safety and fair wages remain critical challenges despite corporate commitments. CCC SAC actively engages in minimum wage review processes across the region and campaigns for living wages and safer working conditions.

Our initiatives include:

  • the RMG Sustainability Council (RSC),
  • the Pakistan Accord,
  • and the International Accord on factory safety.

These initiatives aim to enforce industry-wide standards. Our ultimate goal is to bring all major global brands under a unified legal framework to ensure equal rights and safe workplaces for garment workers worldwide.
