The training will introduce key concepts and contemporary debates on informality, labour markets, and decent work, with a focus on women workers. It will examine the changing nature of informal employment, the intersection of gender and labour precarity, and the diverse experiences of women workers across sectors. The course will discuss labour governance frameworks, including labour codes, social security provisions, welfare schemes, and policy initiatives aimed at improving working conditions and livelihood security. Particular attention will be given to challenges related to access to rights, entitlements, social protection, and public services. The programme will also explore the role of worker organisations, trade unions, self-help groups, cooperatives, and other collective platforms in advancing women’s labour rights and voice. Through discussions on leadership, advocacy, and policy engagement, participants will reflect on pathways for strengthening inclusive labour governance and promoting decent work outcomes for women in the informal economy.
