We tweet facts about the informal workers of the country because not many are doing it.

It's been a year since the lockdown was imposed, however, there’s been little change in the conditions of the migrant workers. While these stories might be seen as a symbol of resilience, we must question the failure of the authorities to uphold moral & constitutional values.

Your feel good content is someone's struggle. This life is a compulsion and not a choice. About time we start talking about basic human rights! #migrantworkers #workersrights #Workers

Two pictures. In both pictures, mothers carrying their new born babies in slings as they're forced to work because India doesn't protect interests of people like them. An industrialist finds both pictures inspirational.

A/c to ‘Estimating Informal Employment & Poverty in India’, a UNDP report, informal employment in agriculture stands at 91,365 for females marked by low wages & poor working conditions. The new laws fail to provide legal backing in case farmers are cheated in contract farming.

The International Labour Organisation (ILO) recommends extending social protection and supporting employment retention to protect against job losses and worker hardship during the pandemic. #unemployment #Curfew #lockdown #AnandVihar #migrantworkers

Lockdown in cities halts livelihood of informal workers and that affects countryside too as a quarter of rural households depend on the income from casual labour working in cities.

[Project Rozgaar @ProjectRozgaar]

A large section of the informal sector is causal labour ( paid daily or periodically) a/c to the most recent labour statistics, 25% of rural and 12 % of urban households rely on casual labour as their main source of income. Now in curfew they are left with no other alternatives.

[Project Rozgaar @ProjectRozgaar]

This is Anand Vihar Bus Terminal. These scenes are not different from previous year, migrants are suffering again. @LabourMinistry @AamAadmiParty should coordinate with these migrant workers.

Why there are no clear guidelines about domestic helpers? They should be given paid leaves.
