Home-based workers play an important role in Bangladeshโ€™s economy and supply chains. However, many continue to face challenges due to limited formal recognition, unfair remuneration, inadequate social protection, and a lack of decent working conditions.

Advancing Recognition and Decent Work for Home-Based Workers

The activities focused on raising awareness of home-based workersโ€™ contributions, strengthening collective mobilisation, and advocating for the recognition and protection of their labour rights. Ensuring that home-based workers receive fair wages, social protection, and decent working conditions is essential to building a more inclusive and equitable world of work.
