The BWI is the Global Union Federation grouping free and democratic unions with members in the Building, Building Materials, Wood, Forestry and Allied sectors.
In 2026, BWI will convene once again for its 6th World Congress—the highest decision-making body of our global union. This is where we come together to shape our future, strengthen our unity and solidarity, and advance the fight for workers’ rights worldwide.
Every year, BWI joins workers, trade unionists, activists, and international community in marking International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on 25 November by launching our annual “16 Days of Trade Union Activism on Violence Against Women”.
