Trade Unions and Workers' Voices on Labor Day 2024

There is no democracy without trade unions and that is why unionists and workers join hands today to highlight and promote a fairer and more sustainable yet democratic future of decent work for all workers regardless of their colors of collars. 

On May Day 2024, workers and unionists gather to voice out how they have made their workplaces more democratic or wish to have such workplaces to be more sustainably democratic. From North to South and Southeast Asia, where FES Asia shines a spotlight on and empowers trade unionists and workers from all across the region, they come forward to showcase their equal participation at workplaces, their involvement in decision-making process, how their voices and plights are heard in order to consequently improve their job satisfaction, productivity and overall well-being.

Gender Justice in Asia: When Care Work is Shared.

Care work is an integral part of the women’s lives in Asia. Women in the Asia- Pacific spend on average four times more time on paid and unpaid care work compared to men. When we speak of inspiring inclusion, we should also see how we can deconstruct the traditional gender roles with regard to care work, especially the unpaid domestic care work that are shouldered mostly by women in Asia. Therefore, with this communication campaign on care work, we would like to highlight how balanced domestic care work could look like. The conversations on unpaid domestic work usually dwell upon the fact that women bear the burden of it and therefore are suffering from time poverty. While family functionality often relies on women providing unpaid care work, there are families in Asia, who try to balance and distribute domestic care work between men and women equally in the household. We would like to highlight those stories to inspire inclusion. And in order to do that we need stories that are realistic, relatable and empathetic.

Social-ecological transformation in Asian cities: Story from FES India

Our stories and story books of flourishing rivers and memories on their rich banks seem like a yarn to the current generation. Not surprisingly as they just see the city's rivers as extensions of sewers. On World Water Day, “BLACK IS THE NEW BLUE?" will raise a question on the state of urban rivers. The film establishes the problem of status quo and shows a window of hope through the Transformative Change Making (TCM) method of Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, adopted by the Water Environs group to break existing societal hurdles to achieve urban transformation, collaboratively. It introduces the “Riverse” project that exemplifies the idea of building alliances, explores avenues of mutual concerns and benefits, even between deal breakers and apathetic fence sitters. These alliances can transform the decaying rivers into agents of health and wellbeing for the city and its citizens.
