For the 1st time, Delhi’s master plan recognizes the informal economy as the largest employer in the city✊🏾

A range of perspectives & bottom-up participation was essential for this victory.

Women #homebasedworkers are the worst affected due to greater time spent in the household premises, facing exposure to unsanitary and hazardous environments.

An upcoming report by @WIEGOGLOBAL FCD & @SEWADelhi1 about HBWs in Delhi shows that home-based workers contribute by supplying low-cost goods/services to customers while creating demand for other goods/ services, such as raw materials, equipment. Watch this space! #HBWday

[WIEGO @WIEGOGLOBAL]

Happy Home-based Workers Day to our comrades everywhere🥳

✊🏾Home-based workers are workers!
✊🏾Workers' rights are human rights!

[Avi Majithia @avimajithia]

The #COVID19 Crisis has been difficult on all informal workers but especially on HBWs who have seen the slowest recovery. Last year, @ShaliniWIEGO wrote about the need to improve housing for HBWs. Read it here - https://t.co/7a73Ma9CyL #HBWDay

[Shalini Sinha @ShaliniWIEGO]

COVID-19 had a disproportionately negative impact on home-based workers with more unemployment, a fall in earnings and working days. Read more in the @WIEGOGLOBAL study - https://t.co/AGkVqKhpAk #HBWDay

[Shalini Sinha @ShaliniWIEGO]

According to the PLFS data 2017-18, there are nearly 41.85 million HBW in India, but still are the most invisible, unrecognized, and unregulated sector of the informal sector in India. #HBWday
