WHO ARE WE?

The Centro de Acompañamiento y Organización a Personas Trabajadoras (Center for Support and Organization of Working People) is made up of women maquila workers in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua who decided to organize to promote decent work.

 

The alliance between the Proyecto de Derechos Económicos, Sociales y Culturales, A.C. (ProDESC) and the women’s collective Rosa Luxemburgo A.C. allowed the creation of the Centro de Acompañamiento y Organización a Personas Trabajadoras (Center for Support and Organization of Working People) in the spring of 2022.

OUR OBJECTIVE

 

To be a space of formation and organization for the construction of workers’ power in Ciudad Juarez and the surrounding regions.

.

WHAT DO WE DO?

We defend the human labor rights of workers in the most precarious sectors such as: domestic and service work; national and international migrant wor;, as well as work from digital platforms and applications.

 

At CAOPT we provide direct attention to those workers who have suffered some form of abuse or agression at their workplace. We promote the defense of labor human rights to empower workers who seek to assert their right to organize through counseling, training and education in this border city and in the region.

 

We also address labor rights violations along the supply chain in Mexico and the United States by detecting and denouncing violating practices.
