Real progress happens when government decision makers and grassroots missions align.

Our affiliates at Sabah Nepal welcomed Mrs. Shuku Maya Tamang, the Minister of Industry, Commerce, Land and Administration for Bagmati Province, to their Head Office and Trade Facilitation Centre.

This visit created an opportunity to spotlight the personal stories of the home-based workers in our network. It also sparked conversations around the importance of inclusive trade and how nurturing business growth at a local level can truly change lives.

Help us make sure these grassroots voices keep being heard! Join our mission:

Often, poverty is not about the lack of financial means but the lack of access and opportunity. Our affiliate partner, Gram Bikash Shohayak Shangstha (GBSS), identified this gap amidst marginalised families from slum areas of Bangladesh.

With their support, the women from these families were able to build crucial income generating skills – and then access small grants and raw materials to set up their own microenterprises. Today, these women are financially independent, successfully supporting their families, and living their ambitions of owning their own businesses!

The isolation that home-based workers operate in often directly contributes to them remaining invisible to policymakers. This in turn, isolates them further. It’s a vicious cycle.

This is just what was seen among the home-based workers in Tiruppur’s garment supply chain. That’s where our affiliate partner Social Awareness and Voluntary Education (SAVE) stepped in.

They created awareness among home workers about relevant issues and the securities available to them, and provided key assistance in accessing those benefits. Know more about their efforts:

Communities transform when women have the space to learn, share and grow together. That is exactly what our affiliate partner, Gram Bikash Shohayak Shangstha (GBSS), is enabling in Bangladesh.

They have successfully formed two new self-help groups dedicated to adolescent girls and women. But what do these groups actually do?

They are more than just a gathering. They act as vital safe spaces where women can talk about things that are often pushed aside – like basic human rights, personal health and feminine hygiene. They are also learning how to identify and stand up against discrimination.

By facilitating the spread of this knowledge, GBSS is not just empowering women – they are helping create agents of change. When one woman finds her voice, she transforms her entire family and neighbourhood. A huge thank you to the team at GBSS for their efforts!

When it comes to protecting home-based workers, countries like Thailand are a step ahead!

The Thai Home Workers Protection Act sets out specific legislations that are designed to safeguard the interests of these workers, making sure matters of their safety and financial security do not slip through the cracks.

These set an example for other South Asian countries, providing valuable recommendations and guidelines to uphold fair practices. Explore more:

For home-based workers in Tiruppur's garment industry, social security benefits like pensions and health aid often felt out of reach. Working in isolation, many were unaware these schemes even existed.

This is where targeted action changes lives.

Our affiliate partner, Social Awareness and Voluntary Education (SAVE), has been relentlessly educating and empowering these women on the ground – actively facilitating their access to the Tamil Nadu Welfare Board's schemes.

We are immensely proud to partner with SAVE in their vital work of turning worker rights into a reality. Get involved and make a difference too:

They work from home. They operate behind the scenes. But home-based workers (HBWs) deserve human rights too!

The informal, isolated nature of their work often makes HBWs ‘invisible’ to policy makers and corporate employers alike.

As a result, the well-meaning rules and provisions written to protect workers often ignore the realities of HBWs. Despite their contributions to the economy, they remain vulnerable to physical, mental and economic exploitation.

This #HumanRightsDay, let us pledge to recognise and acknowledge every worker in the informal sector, and work to ensure they have access to basic securities and protections too. Join us on this journey:
