There are two primary #categories of home-based workers:
• Own account #workers
• Piece-rate workers

to #endchildlabour, make sure their parents - including homeworkers - are paid a living wage, and have access to #socialprotection .. #humanrightsduediligence needs to extend to informal supply chains

[International Labour Organization @ilo]

Access to #socialprotection across the lifecycle – from child & unemployment benefits to pensions and health
protection – help reduce child labour.

"Home-based workers continue to be one of the most affected, even among informal workers."

Drawing on research by WIEGO📄, this piece highlights the impact of #COVID19 on HB workers in #India, their resilience throughout the crisis & the need for policy change.

[Cities Alliance @CitiesAlliance]

The war in #Ukraine is exacerbating inequalities. It has increased the care burden on women & impacted their economic opportunities. 60% of #informal workers are #women. They are extremely vulnerable right now ⬇️

We stand in solidarity with 60 anti-trafficking organisations to condemn the invasion of Ukraine by Russia.

A crime under international law, the invasion will exacerbate the human trafficking of civilians and those fleeing the country. @Hopeforjustice

Two years ago - crisis was engulfing the world.

Lockdowns were on the horizon as we dealt with Covid-19. For workers in the fast fashion industry supplying the UK market, this meant cancelled orders and destitution.

We support the campaign by garment workers in Cambodia demanding their legally owed compensation after their Ramatex Factory closed in 2020. Workers are owed $1.4 million in unpaid wages from brands such as Matalan. #payyourworkers
