Which international labour rights charity should I donate to?

I would like to donate money to an international labour rights group on an ongoing basis, but I'm having a hard time picking one. Charity Navigator has been of little help. I've looked at International Labor Rights Forum, Clean Clothes Campaign, No Sweat, and Fair Wear Foundation. Do you know if one of these groups is more effective or better-run than the others? Do you have suggestions for other groups I might consider? Charities I should stay away from?
I'm looking for a well-run charity that focuses on the garment industry (but that doesn't have to be their exclusive concern) and takes gender issues into consideration. For personal reasons, I'd prefer to stay away from faith-based charities. I'm in Canada, but I'm willing to donate to a group based outside of the country, even if it means I don't get a tax deduction.

Seconding ILRF. They do great work.
Fair Wear Foundation looks like it's funded in part by member corporations, in case you hadn't noticed.
