Home-based Workers Raise Their Voices

Impact: Home-based workers, the majority of whom are women, constitute an invisible workforce that numbers in the millions globally, but which has very little protection, representation or access to social security available to other workers in the economy. HomeNet has built networks across South Asia and Southeast Asia to begin bringing the realities of homebased workers into the public eye.
