Laws alone do not guarantee informal workers’ rights, awareness does.
A construction worker shared during our interview, “We don’t get to know about our rights through any other medium.”
Many construction workers in Delhi remain unaware of the legislations and protections meant for them.
When knowledge of rights does not reach workers, implementation remains incomplete.
For domestic workers in Delhi, the challenge is even deeper due to the absence of a comprehensive law regulating their working conditions.
Through our seminar on minimum wages, Kislay works towards bridging this gap by helping construction and domestic workers understand their rights and build confidence so that they negotiate with employers for at the very least, minimum wages and dignified working conditions.
Because awareness is not just information, it is the process of change in the context of informal sector workers’ rights.
