Economic Empowerment of Women Home Based Workers and Excluded Groups :
Description:
UN Women has been working with, Women Homebased Workers (WHBWs), including those belonging to the most vulnerable populations, and the importance of ‘leaving no one behind’ has been embedded in the UN Women programming, i.e. reaching out to women with disabilities, women from religious minorities and different ethnic groups, and the transgender community.
The focus is conceptualizing strategies that relate to their lived realities and promote their economic status and participation. It is worth mentioning that provincial variations prevail in terms of the WHBWs voice, visibility, abilities, mobility, and connectivity. Contextual variations also exist related to terms of the business environment and opportunities, availability of resources and linkages, and human resource in public and private sector organizations.
UN Women’s work has resulted in improved income generating opportunities, access to identity (CNIC), skills development, social security/health benefits, insurance, microcredit schemes, and market linkages, enabling them to participate more fully in the formal and informal economy.
The capacity building interventions include orienting WHBWs to their rights as workers, important concepts of life skills management, basic health and hygiene, financial literacy, how to handle and address domestic violence and sexual harassment, e-commerce, and basic concepts on entrepreneurship development.
The partnerships with Labour and Human Resource Department (LHRD) in Sindh and Punjab, the Labour Departments in KP and Balochistan have created an environment to fully embrace ownership of the WHBW’s issues. The mobilized government departments act as ‘champions of change’ for the support of WHBWs, e.g. WDD and WEE Council in Balochistan; Health Department in KP; legal aid in Sindh, Social Welfare Department (SWD) in Sindh, NADRA, etc. Greater visibility of the issues of WHBWs, and their rights have been created, which has formed an appetite amongst multiple stakeholders to actively work for this cause.
The proposed project “Empowered women – Resilient Communities” will work directly with at least 600 WHBWs in selected areas of Punjab, mobilizing them, forming them into functioning groups, and connecting them with a range of resources (access to finance, market, skills development, and enterprise development etc).
Efforts will also be made to train these women to maintain a mobile financial wallet for which linkage will be established with the relevant service provider and private sector. Importantly linkages with the government led social protection initiatives as well as Micro-finance institutions will be developed during the implementation. UN Women will provide funding for innovative and catalytic initiatives focusing on the above-mentioned activities in two districts of Punjab, namely Sialkot and Multan.

Start Date: 25th February 2021 (tentative)
End Date: 15th August 2021
