Trip to Reynosa and Rio Bravo August 2015
In August we made a trip to Reynosa and Rio Bravo to meet with factory workers and promotoras and discuss current issues in the maquiladoras. Additionally, during this trip Al Jazeera America came to do a story about the poor working conditions and safety concerns in the factories along the border.

Partners for Responsible Trade displayed photographs taken by Victoria Ruddy at Festival Latino 2015 in Columbus Ohio. The purpose of this event was to raise awareness in the US about conditions in offshore factories and to raise funds for our programs that support factory workers and their families in Mexico along the border.
