WATCH: As the world’s eyes are on #Paris2024, women who make @Nike gear are calling on the company to ensure living wages for workers in its supply chain. "We are strong women. We deserve better. The Olympics wouldn’t be the same without us." #NikeInEquality @Asia_floorwage

Here are the Olympic Heroes we haven't met:
Leni, Nur, Dinar, Nisa, Nursya, Nia, Frischa, Nde & Oshin are the unsung heroes behind Nike's gear. They produce 250 pairs of shoes a day - and are paid six dollars/day.

13 years since the murder of Roshen Chanaka.
His mother still seeks justice for her son, who put his life on the line and died for the workers' resistance. 🧵
It had been only 4 months since Roshen Shanaka, who was among thousands of protestors, had started working in the Katunayake Zone. The police fired, he was shot and injured and was taken to hospital, where he died two days later. The government withdrew its proposal.
Say his name: Roshen Chanaka.
🚩 We demand justice for the death of Roshen Chanaka!
🚩 We demand justice for those of the resistance who were severely injured!
🚩 We demand the reversal of the cuts to workers' only savings, EPF/ETF, in 2022!

This becomes difficult for those working in time-bound washroom breaks who will be penalised for being delayed to return to their workstation.
7/There still are factories, where workers have to handle toxic substances, and do not provide PPE like gloves and masks.
Pregnant workers are treated the same as any other workers, for example, they have to use washrooms with squatting pan even when they are 8-months pregnant.
