India is the second largest tea producer in the world. In the northeastern state of Assam alone, 900,000 permanent workers—about half of them women—fuel the tea industry. Despite their numbers, women workers here face a host of challenges to their human rights, making it urgent that tools such as effective, safe grievance mechanisms are available to them on tea estates.

In Veracruz, Mexico, and even more so in the state of Chiapas, migrant labor represents a significant portion of the coffee workforce. Migrant coffee workers are vulnerable to poor working conditions and discrimination, and women migrant workers face additional risks to their well-being, including violence and harassment.

With the support of the ISEAL Innovations Fund and the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs, Quizrr partnered with the Rainforest Alliance — to address these issues. Together, we're rolling out innovative training modules for workers and managers on Rainforest Alliance Certified farms in these regions, tackling critical human rights risks in line with the OECD-FAO Guidance for Responsible Agricultural Supply Chains.
