The Nattamis remain unrecognised and unprotected. While their labour moves the economy, their rights and dignity are too often ignored.

We are calling on committed and socially conscious individuals—from any background—to support this research and advocacy campaign focused on labour rights, informal economies, and inclusive policy change.
