Patricia Coñoman & Edileuza Guimarães are representing millions of home-based workers in key discussions on social dialogue, gender equality at work and the platform economy. Together, we are helping shape a future of work that recognizes, protects, and includes all workers.

The 114th Session of the International Labour Conference has officially begun in Geneva! 🇨🇭

#ILC2026 #HomeBasedWorkers

[HomeNet International @HomeNetInt]

With the General Discussion Committee on the Transformative Agenda for #GenderEquality at Work ahead at #ILC2026, this conversation is more urgent than ever. Recognition, rights, and protection for HBWs and ALL workers in the #InformalEconomy must include a strong gender lens. ✊🏽

🌍 Fair systems, fair recognition! Economic justice for #HomeBasedWorkers means more than just #FairWages — it's about valuing their essential contributions to communities and society, and safeguarding their rights. ✊🏽✨ #DecentWork

That’s why we need strong and simple dispute systems, where homeworkers can:
➡️ Report issues easily
➡️ Resolve disputes with employers or intermediaries

What happens when your employer doesn’t pay you? Or your buyer disappears? For many homeworkers, there’s no clear way to make a complaint or resolve problems. No contract. No legal support. No power.

@cleanclothes @WIEGOGLOBAL @hbwwfpk Millions of home-based workers sit at the very end of global fashion supply chains, working outside factories, and are particularly vulnerable as multiple crises impact their livelihoods.

[HomeNet International @HomeNetInt]

Behind many home-based workers are elderly parents, sick relatives, and children who depend on them. When we talk about decent work, we must also talk about care systems.

Today we celebrate the anniversary of our 2nd Congress, held in 2023 — a historic moment that brought together home-based worker leaders from across regions to strengthen our collective voice and shape our shared future.

[HomeNet International @HomeNetInt]

During the Congress, key milestones were achieved: our ExCo was approved, office-bearers were elected, and HNI’s 1st Declaration was adopted.

It was a space of exchange, solidarity, and commitment to advancing rights, recognition, and dignity for home-based workers worldwide.
