On the eve of 8th March International Women's Day HBWWA organized a protest for the working women's rights. The poster was designed to raise the voice against injustice. Globalization and WTO’s polices are making adverse effect on labor class especially on females workers in informal sector such as home based workers IN the shape of high unemployment Vulnerable working condition no health and social security low wage long working hours and high rate violence at work place. Even the Labour laws of the country do not recognize Informal and home-based worker and their work. The basic reason is that informal workers are not organized and less aware about their rights so not in a position to grape their due right from the Government and the employers. During the last few decades informal worker are increasing due to the policies of free trade by multinational and imperialist states in which they get high profit and provide less benefits to the workers.

Due to these policies government sell out all the public assets which is resulted in high unemployment rates introduce contract system cut in social sector high poverty and inflation and growth of the informal sector.

The reason behind this is that women are less aware and unorganized in our society and our values customs and religion halt the mobility of the women which gives benefits to the imperialist and capitalist society to exploit them more in terms of paying fewer wage no job long working hours and no benefits such as health and education. home Based Women Workers Association (HBWWA) has been working with informal sector workers especially the garment textile and bangle industries workers since long.
