La Mujer Obrera

La Mujer Obrera was founded in 1981 as an organization of women workers in Barrio Chamizal, once known as El Paso’s garment district, to imagine and enact a vision for a dignified life for workers and their families. Four decades later, a lot has changed but we continue to carry forward this vision of a dignified life for the families of the Chamizal.
