Labour union

In addition to institutions that aim at improving the rights of workers and safety of working environment, three federations of trade unions exist in Rwanda. The are:

• Centrale des Syndicats des Travailleurs au Rwanda (CESTRAR)
• The Congress of Labour and Fraternity in Rwanda (COTRAF)
• Confederation of Free Trade Unions of Rwanda (COSYLI)

These civil society organisations have achieved a lot as far as fighting for workers rights and safe working conditions is concerned.
