Gildan Activewear

Female workers are often subject to discrimination and other exploitative labour practices on the factory floor. Ensuring gender equality and female empowerment is one of the 17 goals of the SDGs. As an industry with an estimated workforce of 3.5 billion people globally – many of whom are women – the apparel sector can play a big role in achieving this goal.
