HomeNet South Asia (HNSA) recently organised an engaging regional webinar titled ‘Access to Markets’ on 29 April 2025, bringing together affiliate organisations from all across South Asia to discuss one of the most pressing challenges faced by home-based workers (HBWs): access to markets. Moderated by Ms. Monica Raina, the session was a reflection on some of the biggest obstacles and opportunities under this topic.

However, with the onset of the disease, the demand for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for frontline workers has seen an increase. And many garment manufacturers have looked to capitalise on this opportunity.
