The Kathmandu Declaration in 2000 established October 20 as Home-based Workers’ Day. To commemorate the day, every year, Network members across the world organize a series of events and demonstrations aimed at drawing attention to the situation of home-based workers and to present a series of demands, including:
- Ratification of ILO Convention 177 on Homework and creation of corresponding legislation in all provinces;
- Respect for international principle of equal wage for equal jobs;
- Integration of representative federation of home-based workers in the national tripartite consultation process regarding labour laws.
