HomeNet South Asia along with its affiliates SABAH Nepal, Home Based Workers Concern Society Nepal (HBWCSN), and Khokana Women Awareness Society (KWAS), and in collaboration with WIEGO, organised a four-day exposure visit of home-based worker leaders from Uganda and South Africa to Kathmandu, Nepal.
The exposure visit included field visits to the three HBWs women organisations and their production centres with facilitated discussions for learning and exchanging of knowledge took place, followed by debriefing sessions.
The objectives of the exposure visit were:
- To introduce participants to the various “Organising Models of HBWs” in Kathmandu, Nepal
- To educate participants on various Organisational Structures for HBWs.
- To build participants' capacity on organising around their issues at the ground level, which in turn will build the home-based workers movement in Africa.
This was a Comic Relief funded initiative under the project “Women HBWs in South Asia & Africa”, which focuses on Organising and Capacity Building, Empowering Women HBWs in South Asia & Africa.
