The seminar aims to foster a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by women in India’s unorganized sector and their socio-economic impacts. Through critical analysis of policy frameworks, participants will identify actionable reforms to enhance women’s rights and protections. By promoting collaboration and advocacy, the seminar seeks to mobilize stakeholders towards collective action, driving positive change for women in the unorganized sector.
The outcome is a roadmap for empowering women, improving their access to economic opportunities, and social security, and promoting their overall well-being. The seminar targets women working across diverse sectors within the unorganized sector, with a specific focus on the chosen region.
This includes women engaged in home-based work, gig workers, platform-based economy participants (like home-based beauty service providers), household industry workers, casual labourers, those in regular wage employment, independent workers, domestic workers, and individuals in low-tier positions within the ITES sector, among others.
