  • 3 years ago
A recent film developed by the Institute of Social Studies Trust (ISST) on the situation of informal women workers of Delhi highlights that women informal workers have to deal with numerous challenges at the workplace. These include difficulty at all levels - finding consistent work, untimely and ad hoc payment of wages, unhygienic, hazardous working conditions, lack of appropriate tools, lack of basic facilities at work, inability to take leave, wage cuts and even harassment and abuse. Also, their need to constantly balance and give time to their care and domestic work responsibilities further complicates their situation.
