Welcome to the Global Worker Health Wiki, a knowledge hub on worker health policies, practices, research, and resources from around the world. Our special focus is on women workers in the global supply chains - the most vulnerable and fastest-growing worker segment in the global economy. We take a comprehensive view of worker health and well-being, in line with the 2030 Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and not limited to the typical scope of Occupational Safety & Health (OSH), the de-facto standard today.
We aim to develop a resourceful, authoritative, accessible, and agile knowledge community, building on the strengths of our diverse global network of actors and organizations that have implemented health and well-being programs and policies, benefiting workers, companies, local communities, and countries. We aim to connect the civil societies and policy advocates from different parts of the world to promote collaboration and innovation in worker health and well-being.

Women’s health, including reproductive health, is typically underappreciated or unacknowledged feature of the worklife work life and professional growth of women. This is particularly true of poor women in the supply chains of major brands, manufacturers and producers.
And it is true for many organizations that deal business’s role [???] in gender equality, women’s empowerment, labor and OSH rights, ESG and living wages.
While Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) is critically important, it is focused primarily on safety and workplace-related illness. Yet, the impact and influence of the workplace on worker health goes beyond physical boundary of the worksite defined by OSH. The workplace is a “social determinant” of women and men worker’s overall health. This falls squarely in the area of business requirement by the UN Guiding Principles to respect workers’ health rights, which encompass more than just OSH.
