Power Up : Stories of Empowerment Powered by Home-Based Workers
In September 2019, with support from Comic Relief, HomeNet South Asia and WIEGO collaborated on the Power Up programme. It was designed to create a global movement of home-based workers by strengthening grassroot organisations and leaders, to enable women home-based workers to build increased recognition, representation and ultimately better livelihoods in Africa and South Asia. In South Asia the project focused on Bangladesh, India and Nepal.
Power Up worked by empowering women home-based workers and enabling them to develop key skills required to increase visibility, gain recognition and take transformative action. The foundational pillars of the project included:
- Strengthening the organisational capabilities of home-based workers
- Facilitating improved capacities for leadership
- Increasing their visibility and recognition as a category of workers
- Enhancing solidarity action and present a network for engagement
- Enabling them to build knowledge and raise awareness
