The Route of Shame 2013: Photos, video and more!

PSI leader Rosa Pavanelli told the crowd gathered at the Place des Nations that “It is no longer enough to expose the abuses of workers’ rights through the cases being heard inside the buildings of the ILO conference, but we must also strongly show to people and our communities outside how workers’ rights are being violated in many places in the world.”

As bicycle bells rang and the Botswanan delegation sang, speakers from Turkey, Egypt, Russia, South Korea, Guatemala and Greece shared their stories and delivered protest letters to the national missions along the route in Geneva.

On 12^th June, PSI affiliates organized similar events in Lima, Caracas, Buenos Aires, Quito and Bogota. International solidarity makes us stronger and unites PSI!

PSI union affiliates in South Korea, Australia and elsewhere say they are inspired to plan similar events next year in their countries. Let’s make this event even bigger next June!
