Informal workers have historically been excluded from economic and political decision-making, and their work is systematically devalued and made invisible. The COVID-19 pandemic has only intensified these dynamics and has resulted in skyrocketing rates of domestic violence, bringing a renewed urgency to address poverty, exclusion and precarious work.
Join worker leaders, organizers and advocates from around the world to discuss organizing strategies and best practices to address and end the impact of domestic violence on workers in the informal economy. Here's the lineup!
