HomeNet Bangladesh (www.homenetbangladesh.org)
HomeNet Bangladesh (HNB) is the accomplishment of
registered home worker-based organizations who are
devoted to strengthen the network and market the
products within the country or outside the country
through Bangladesh Home workers Women Association (BHWA).
HNB with the collaboration of Home- Net South Asia,
HomeNet India, HomeNet Nepal, HomeNet Pakistan and
HomeNet Sri Lanka are making efforts to sort out the
status of social protection, condition of occupational
health and safety of HBWs in each country - along with
their quality product marketing through the direct
participation of HBWs both in the country, regional
and international context. There are eight
coordinators in eight regions in Bangladesh; they
coordinate to the network organization and coordinate
to the focal head of the HNB and the coordinator of
HNB. There are 68 total member organizations HNB; 6839
total HBWs in the urban area under HNB; 7972 total
HBWs in the rural area under HNB; 14661 total HBWs
under HNB; and 30,000,000 (approx.) total unorganized
HBWs.
In Bangladesh, 71% of all women workers are home
based, in contrast to only 20% of all male workers who
are home based
