नारी शक्ति, आत्मीयता र एकताको पर्व हरितालिका तीजको पावन अवसरमा सम्पूर्ण दिदीबहिनी तथा नेपाली दाजुभाइहरूमा हार्दिक शुभकामना।
तीज केवल परम्परा र उत्सवको पर्व मात्र नभई महिलाको सम्मान, समानता, आत्मनिर्भरता र सशक्तीकरणको आवाजलाई अझ बुलन्द बनाउने अवसर पनि बनोस्।
यस तीजले हरेक महिलालाई आफ्नो श्रमको सम्मान, आफ्नो अधिकारको पहिचान र आफ्ना सपनाहरू पूरा गर्ने अवसर प्राप्त होस्।
समानता, सम्मान र सशक्तीकरणसहितको समाज निर्माणतर्फ हाम्रो यात्रा अझ बलियो बनोस्।
हरितालिका तीज २०८३ को हार्दिक मंगलमय शुभकामना!

नेपालले हालै आएको विनाशकारी बाढीको गम्भीर प्रभाव सामना गरिरहेको यस कठिन समयमा, हामी प्रभावित समुदायहरू, आफ्नो घरबार गुमाएका, विस्थापित भएका तथा अनिश्चितताको सामना गरिरहेका सबैप्रति ऐक्यबद्धता व्यक्त गर्दछौं।
यस विपद्का कारण ज्यान गुमाउनेहरूप्रति हार्दिक श्रद्धाञ्जली अर्पण गर्दै, प्रभावित परिवार तथा समुदायप्रति गहिरो समवेदना व्यक्त गर्दछौं। विपद्को यस कठिन घडीमा महिला, बालबालिका तथा अन्य जोखिममा रहेका समुदायहरूको सुरक्षा, सम्मान र आवश्यकतालाई विशेष प्राथमिकता दिनु अत्यन्त आवश्यक छ।
हामी यस विपद्बाट प्रभावित सबै समुदायसँग ऐक्यबद्ध छौं र शीघ्र उद्धार, राहत तथा पुनर्स्थापनाको काम प्रभावकारी रूपमा अघि बढोस् भन्ने कामना गर्दछौं।

For millions of home-based workers, home is their workplace—a place where they produce, earn, and contribute to the economy, often while carrying unpaid care responsibilities too.
It’s time to see the work that happens behind closed doors, recognize home-based workers, and ensure they have access to decent work, social protection, fair wages, and rights.
Work is work, wherever it happens. 🧵🏠

A 9-to-5 has a clock. Care work doesn’t.
While one person’s working hours are counted, another may spend the entire day cooking, cleaning, caring, and keeping the household running — often without recognition, pay, or a break.
If the work is real, the hours should count too.
It’s time to recognize and value unpaid care work.

Yesterday, 05/08/2026, HBWCSN visited the Chapagaun group in Godawari Municipality to discuss an important step toward the recognition of home-based workers.
Our team held a productive meeting with the Honorable Mayor, Deputy Mayor and the Chief of the Employment Section (रोजगार शाखा), focusing on the establishment of a Front Desk within Godawari Municipality. This initiative aims to facilitate the validation and official recognition of home-based workers as formal workers, ensuring they are acknowledged, counted, and connected to the services and protections they deserve.
We sincerely appreciate Godawari Municipality for their time, openness, and commitment to advancing the rights and dignity of home-based workers. Together, we move one step closer to achieving recognition and social protection for all.

HBWCSN successfully conducted an IFWEA Study Circle Discussion on 27 July with chapter leaders from Gokarna and Jorpati, facilitated by Ms Prabha Pokhrel. The discussion focused on the key challenges faced by Home-Based Workers (HBWs) and identified three priority areas for action:
🔹 Recognition and rights of HBWs
🔹 Technology-induced stresses
🔹 Climate-induced stresses

As an initial step, participants agreed to prioritize recognition and rights by engaging local governments to establish Labour Desks for the registration of informal workers. A Charter of Demands was prepared and submitted to the Deputy Mayor of Gokarneshwor Municipality, marking the conclusion of the first Study Circle.
Together, we continue working towards recognition, dignity, and social protection for Home-Based Workers.

सहयोग सधैं ठूलो कामबाट सुरु हुँदैन। कहिलेकाहीँ एउटा प्रश्न नै पर्याप्त हुन्छ।

"आज म तपाईंको कुन काममा सघाउन सक्छु?"
"के तपाईंलाई केही समय आराम चाहिएको छ?"
"म केही जिम्मेवारी बाँड्न सक्छु?"

यस्ता साना प्रश्नहरूले गृह श्रमिक तथा सेवा-सुश्रुषाको जिम्मेवारी सम्हालिरहेका व्यक्तिहरूको मानसिक भार कम गर्न सक्छन्। घरको काम र हेरचाह सबैको जिम्मेवारी हो। सहयोगको सुरुवात बुझाइ, सम्मान र एउटा सरल प्रश्नबाट गरौँ।

नेतृत्व केवल पद होइन, जिम्मेवारी, निरन्तरता र समर्पणको परिचय हो।

संस्थापक अध्यक्ष स्वर्गीय प्रतिमा पोखरेलज्यूले सुरु गर्नुभएको गृह श्रमिकको अधिकार र सम्मानको अभियानलाई दृढ संकल्प, अथक परिश्रम र दूरदर्शी नेतृत्वका साथ निरन्तर अगाडि बढाइरहनुभएकोमा हामी उहाँप्रति हार्दिक सम्मान व्यक्त गर्दछौँ।
हजारौँ गृह श्रमिक महिलाको आवाजलाई नीति निर्माणदेखि राष्ट्रिय बहससम्म पुर्‍याउने, उनीहरूको पहिचान, सामाजिक सुरक्षा र श्रमिक अधिकारका लागि निरन्तर पैरवी गर्ने उहाँको समर्पण HBWCSN को शक्ति र प्रेरणा बनेको छ।
तपाईंको निरन्तर मेहनत, प्रतिबद्धता र नेतृत्वप्रति हार्दिक कृतज्ञता। आगामी दिनहरूमा पनि न्याय, सम्मान र समानताको यस यात्राले अझ नयाँ उचाइहरू हासिल गरोस् भन्ने शुभकामना।
गृह श्रमिकहरूको संघर्ष, योगदान र नेतृत्वलाई उजागर गर्दै यो प्रेरणादायी कथा प्रकाशन गरिदिनुभएकोमा Thanti Khabar परिवारलाई हार्दिक धन्यवाद।

काठमाडौं। समाज परिवर्तनको इतिहास प्रायः साना प्रयासबाट सुरु हुन्छ। त्यस्तै एउटा प्रयास, जसले हजारौं गृह श्रमिक ....

25 Years of the Kathmandu Declaration: Celebrating a Legacy of Solidarity

HBWCSN was honoured to be part of "From Kathmandu Declaration to Regional Transformation: 25 Years of Home-Based Workers' Solidarity", celebrating 25 years of collective action for the rights and recognition of home-based workers across South Asia.

The event brought together government representatives, regional leaders, development partners, and home-based workers to reflect on the progress made and reaffirm our shared commitment to dignity, recognition, decent work, and social protection for all home-based workers. We also welcomed the launch of the South Asia Regional Planning Platform, strengthening regional collaboration and knowledge sharing to build safer and more inclusive workplaces.

As we celebrate this important milestone, HBWCSN remains committed to advancing the rights of home-based workers in Nepal and working in solidarity with our regional partners to create lasting change.

Together, we stand. Together, we rise. Together, we achieve.
