	abstract = {In the 1990{\textquoteright}s, international activists launched an anti-sweatshop movement in order to improve working conditions and worker pay in overseas factories operated by Nike, Adidas, and Reebok.\&nbsp; This project quantifies the effect of the anti-sweatshop movement on empowerment of female textile workers in Indonesia.\&nbsp; I use a differences-in-difference design, by comparing differences among female textile workers before and after 1995-1996 in sub-districts with textile factories operated by targeted firms and in sub-districts with textile factories operated by other firms.\&nbsp; Preliminary results indicate that women do not marry later nor have fewer children.\&nbsp; However, women report using contraception at higher rates.\&nbsp; These results suggest that worker reforms in industries with predominantly female labor forces can generate small improvements in female autonomy and empowerment.},
