Home-based workers
Representatives of the internationally recognised Self Employed Women Association (SEWA) Academy, India, visited Pakistan for the first time, and conducted a workshop in Lahore to train home-based workers from around Pakistan.
HomeNet organised the three-day training held last week, led by SEWA Academy Director Namrita Bali, Program Coordinator Sapna Raval, and Trainer Rema Kapur, along with Renu Golani, Program Manager, HomeNet South Asia.
Home-based workers from eleven cities in Pakistan’s four provinces attended the training, aimed at building leadership and organising capacities.
Organisers hope that sharing the success story of the SEWA movement and information about organisational strategies will help home based workers in Pakistan to strengthen their own movement.
Ume Laila, Executive Director HomeNet Pakistan explained how home-based workers can register their organisation with the relevant government department, as a Union, Association, or Community Based Organization.
Namrata Bali stressed the need to strengthen women’s initiatives to build peace in the region and strengthen the poor, marginalized sections of society. Her message for Aman ki Asha was to open doors for women to learn form each other and utilize South Asian resources to build capacities.
HomeNet Pakistan intends to continue the collaboration with SEWA to organize more trainings for women home-based workers in Pakistan.
