One participant says,

This project has helped us learn to value ourselves
as women, We have been able to use this information to integrate ourselves in
the leadership structures of our unions…We have acquired knowledge that allows
us to face and solve a diversity of problems in our work, in our families, and
in our unions and organizations.

The next step of this process is to create the space to allow union women to not only use the curriculum to enhance their skills but also to strategize and support each other to truly create a movement for women’s economic rights throughout Central America.

The curriculum also has cross over appeal to the US program on Immigrant Women.  The curriculum will also be utilized to hold trainings with immigrant women on their rights as workers and is also being made available to unions to be used within their locals to develop the leadership of their Latina members.

STITCH will be holding trainings across the country to create a change in the immigrant’s rights and labor movements. We believe that another world is possible when we support each other across boarders and truly practice solidarity. We will continue to strengthen the power and leadership of women uniting for justice in Central America and the United States.
