HomeNet Pakistan has been working for giving a recognition and support to the home-based workers since 2005. Formed under the Societies Registration Act 1862 HomeNet Pakistan is a member of HomeNet South Asia.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">HomeNet Pakistan believes that home- based women workers need to be recognized as laborers instead of considered as a poor, deserving and insignificant part of the society. They must be considered as producers and artisans. Their productivity has to be increased by imparting skill development training, improved technologies, direct access to credit schemes, effective marketing opportunities of their products and putting them under some trade\/labor policy of the country. The home-based workers also need to be adequately reflected in national statistics and recognized as workers in the labor laws of the country, thus making them eligible for social, economic and legislative protection. They want support in information, knowledge, capacity building \u2013 developing contact, presenting issues, advocacy skills, designing and marketing etc. Here organizational strength is required while making efforts to strengthen home based workers; creating linkages, networking, capacity building and advocacy.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">HomeNet Pakistan was registered under the Societies Registration Act on November 2nd, 2005. It represents 350 organizations of home based workers and currently has over 50,000 women members in more than 50 districts of Pakistan.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b47624 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9b47624\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t&nbsp;\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><u><b>Four Areas of Work<\/b><\/u><\/h2>\n<ul>\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Information development and dissemination.<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Advocacy on Policy initiatives for women , \u00a0Homebased Workers for \u00a0effective \u00a0legislation.<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Networking.<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Capacity Building and leadership development.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b><u>Special Focus<\/u><\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Organizing and Networking of women home-based workers, domestic workers and women worker and their organizations.<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Supporting development of policy and advocacy on key issues with the government.<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Demonstrating pilot approaches including social protection for the vulnerable groups ; skill development for CVE affected groups (women and youth).<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Promoting fair trade practices.<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Conflict resolution 1325.<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Capacity development on human rights, women, legal and labour rights.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><u><b>Major Activities<\/b><\/u><\/h2>\n<ul>\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Awareness Raising at three levels.<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Exposure visits for market linkages.<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Legal Awareness workshops.<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Crafts Exhibitions and fairs.<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Field researches.<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Market surveys.<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Advocacy meetings with Parliamentarians ,Media, women councillors, legislators and lawyers, GoP and relevant stakeholders.<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Leadership development.<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Enterprise development.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Background HomeNet Pakistan is a network of organizations formed to raise awareness about the economic, social, domestic and other working conditions of home-based women workers who comprise 70% of the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","meta":{"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":"","_tec_slr_enabled":"","_tec_slr_layout":""},"class_list":["post-3596","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"ticketed":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mahmoodtariq.com\/hnp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3596","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mahmoodtariq.com\/hnp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mahmoodtariq.com\/hnp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mahmoodtariq.com\/hnp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mahmoodtariq.com\/hnp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3596"}],"version-history":[{"count":58,"href":"https:\/\/mahmoodtariq.com\/hnp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3596\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5692,"href":"https:\/\/mahmoodtariq.com\/hnp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3596\/revisions\/5692"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mahmoodtariq.com\/hnp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3596"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
