Home-Based Workers Demand Social Protection for All

Wednesday, 20 October, 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an overwhelming impact on the health and economies of home-based workers around the world. Because of this, on International HBWs Day, we will focus on the urgent need to ensure that all home-based workers are included in Social Protection policies and programmes.

We’ll hear from the home-based workers themselves on their social protection needs, demands, the barriers they’ve faced and what they plan to do collectively in future.
