The regional seminar, entitled "MFA+3: Labour Rights in a Changing Garment Industry," was co-sponsored by MSN and the Honduran Independent Monitoring Team (EMIH). It brought together labour and women's rights activists from Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Peru, Colombia and Argentina.

May Wong of Globalization Monitor, based in Hong Kong, also participated in the seminar as a resource person on labour rights in China and the Asia Floor Wage Campaign.

The Honduras seminar was a follow up to a similar event that took place in Nicaragua in February 2005, also co-sponsored by MSN, in which delegates from the same sectors discussed the possible impacts of the end of quotas.
