abstract: 'Certification programs seek to promote decent work in global
agriculture, yet little is known about their gender standards and
implications for female workers, who are often the most disadvantaged.
This study outlines the gender standard domains of major agricultural
certifications, showing how some programs (Fair Trade USA, Rainforest)
prioritize addressing gender equality in employment and others
(Fairtrade International, UTZ) incorporate wider gender rights. To
illuminate the implications of gender standards in practice, I analyze
Fairtrade certification and worker experience on certified flower
plantations in Ecuador, drawing on a qualitative and quantitative field
research study. (1) I show how Fairtrade seeks to bolster the wellbeing
of female workers, addressing their workplace needs via equal
employment, treatment, and remuneration standards and their reproductive
needs via maternity leave and childcare services. My research
demonstrates that for female workers, addressing family responsibilities
is critical, since they shape women''s ability to take paid jobs, their
employment needs, and their overall wellbeing. (2) I show how Fairtrade
seeks to bolster the rights of women workers through individual and
collective capacity building standards. My findings reveal how promoting
women''s individual empowerment serves as a precondition for collective
empowerment, and how targeting traditional labor rights is insufficient
for empowering female workers, since their strategic choices are
curtailed largely outside the workplace. While Fairtrade certification
bolsters the wellbeing and rights of female workers in and beyond the
workplace, much still needs to be done before women can claim their
rights as workers and citizens.'
