The government must adopt the ILO conventions C-177, C-189, C-183 and C-100 to ensure the protection of rights of home-based workers and domestic workers by recognizing them a labourer in statutes. The demand was raised in a consultative meeting around 'Women Workers and Safe Working Environment' organized on National Working Women Day by Association of Women for Awareness and Motivation (AWAM).
The key speakers of the consultative meeting included Naseem Anthony (Program Director-AWAM), Shazia George (Member-PCSW) and Sajida (LHW), Parveen Akhter (LHW), Gulnaz Bibi (Domestic Worker), and Azra Bano (Home Based Worker) shared the challenges encountered by the women workers in general and specifically by the home-based workers and domestic workers and suggested the ways that can bring a change in the society.
Speaking on the event, member of Punjab Commission on the Status of Women, Shazia George said, "There exist several women rights protection committees and forums that are mandated to facilitate the women to claim their rights. The women are not fully aware about all these available facilities and windows of opportunities, resultantly, unable to be benefited," she added. "The Civil Society and government department and authorities must join hands to publicize and advertise the available legal frameworks to connect the women folk to domestic women rights protection mechanism," she suggested.
