ORMUSA

In El Salvador, we've been working with the Organization of
Salvadoran Women for Peace (ORMUSA) since 2003. One of their many
activities is to monitor working conditions in the factories of the
maquilas (free trade zones) with a particular focus on violence against
women. They offer psychological support to victims of violence,
including the formation of self-help groups and have a call-in service
to respond to labour and other problems.

They work with municipal authorities, police and health officials to
achieve policy changes that affect women's working conditions as well
working on important issues of women's health nationally.
