About the organization
Home Based Workers Concern Society Nepal (HBWCSN), a NGO actively engaged in promoting recognition, visibility, rights, dignity, decent working conditions, access to social protection/security and welfare for home-based workers (HBWs) since 2001. It serves as a catalyst, working towards establishment of decent working conditions and equal labor rights for this vulnerable group. Through its advocacy efforts, HBWCSN lobbies the government to enforce these necessary conditions, ensuring that the rights and well-being of HBWs are protected. HBWCSN focuses on empowering HBWs, particularly women, by facilitating their access to sustainable opportunities and supporting them in increasing their remuneration. HBWCSN has established and strengthened 10 cooperatives, 5 NGOs, and 90 self-help groups (pre-coops) specifically tailored for HBWs which have amassed a combined membership of 2,250 individuals across 8 districts of Nepal. The members come together based on their respective skills and engage in a diverse range of sectors such as sewing, knitting, embroidery, bead making, wool work, Dhaka cloth weaving, spinning wool, bio-briquette production, wood carving, Tibetan handicrafts, incense sticks, and more. Through the facilitation and support of HBWCSN, approximately 5 percent of the members transition from being HBWs to small business owners each year, and some have been successful in creating employment opportunities for up to 20 additional home workers. This signifies the positive impact of HBWCSN's efforts in promoting entrepreneurship and economic empowerment among women homeworkers, enabling them to progress from individual work to establish their own businesses while also generating employment opportunities for others within their communities.
