WSM is the NGO of the Christian Workers’ Movement (MOC) and its constituent organisations. It works to strengthen social movements across several continents and brings them together in networks, so that current and future generations may enjoy the universal right to a dignified life and social protection.
Our corporate purpose is, amongst other things, to:
Worldwide, one in two people cannot live with dignity from their hard work. Even more people, as many as 70%, have to rely on themselves when they are sick, unemployed or old.
Decent work and social protection are not privileges, but human rights. They are also the best insurance against poverty and exclusion.
And we do not work alone, of course.
We join forces with close to 100 social movements in Belgium and across 20 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America: trade unions, health funds, micro-credit organisations, women organisations, youth organisations and organisations of older people.
These organisations are the driver of real changes on the ground:
That is why we are bringing our partners together in a network, both in the countries where they operate and at an international level, to advocate more forcefully for our fundamental rights. Together, we demand that people be placed at the heart of politics and the economy, whilst respecting our planet’s limits.

Decent work and social protection are our main focus, but we also emphasize social and solidarity economy, gender, young people and the environment.
Defending the right to decent work and social protection;
Combatting and preventing poverty and exclusion;
That’s what WSM does every day.
WSM does not stand alone. WSM connects and gathers forces, by bringing organizations together at the national level, but also at the regional and international levels.
Chaque année, des organisations partenaires déploient des efforts soutenus pour changer radicalement la vie de nombreuses personnes.
