WIEGO seeks to promote a better understanding of how the working poor, especially women, in the informal economy are inserted into the global economy, and with what consequences; and to identify strategies to promote fair trade for informal producers who want to export their goods and ethical trade for informal wage workers or homeworkers who work in global value chains. Our activities to meet these goals include research studies and seminars; case study documentation of good practice; policy dialogues on key issues; as well as collaboration with the fair and ethical trade movements.
