In the third episode of the registration block we travel to Latin America to take a regional overview of this issue regarding domestic workers. To learn the challenges these workers face to be registered, the positive experiences, as well as the opportunities and limitations digital technology tools offer in this task, among other issues revolving around registration for domestic workers in Latin America, we invited Adriana Paz. Adriana is currently Secretary General of the International Domestic Workers' Federation (IDWF). Previously, she served as Latin America Coordinator for more than six years, also at IDWF.

For decades, domestic workers have struggled to be recognized and to enjoy the same rights as other workers – including social protection rights. There has been significant progress over the past few years, as the workers' movement pressured in national and international forums to have labour and social protection rights enshrined in their legal system. The ILO Convention-189 and the ratification by 35 countries, is one example of such achievements. However, there is still a lot to be done in order to formally include domestic workers into social protection systems. But also, there are important steps to be taken in order to ensure that these workers are effectively enjoying their rights, even where they are legally entitled to them. In order to better understand the concepts, shortcomings, challenges and advances regarding the inclusion of domestic workers in social protection schemes I talked to Maya Stern-Plaza. Maya is the Social Protection Standards and Legal Expert of the Social Protection Department of the International Labour Organization. In addition to supporting the ratification and application of international social security standards she is also the Department's focal point for domestic workers. She is the main author of the report “Making the right to social security a reality for domestic workers: A global review of policy trends, statistics and extension strategies”, which is being launched today, June 16th, the International Domestic Workers' Day. *Our theme music is Focus from AA Aalto (Creative Commons) ---- References ILO report “Making the right to social security a reality for domestic workers: A global review of policy trends, statistics and extension strategies” https://www.ilo.org/global/publications/WCMS_848280/lang--en/index.htm “Ten Years Since Winning C189: Domestic Workers Become an Unstoppable Movement”, by IDWF and WIEGO https://www.wiego.org/sites/default/files/resources/file/C189%20Ten%20Years%20Since%20Winning%20C189%20for%20web_0.pdf "Making C189 Real": The Domestic Workers Project https://www.wiego.org/making-c189-real-domestic-workers-project Blog: What's Changed for Domestic Workers since C189?

For the past two years, the world has been facing one of the biggest challenges of our lifetime, with the Covid-19 crisis. In this last episode of the year, we invited again Laura Alfers, the Social Protection programme coordinator at WIEGO, and Rachel Moussié, deputy coordinator of the Social Protection programme and head of the Child Care initiative, also here at WIEGO, to discuss the way in which the pandemic has exposed blind spots in social protection systems and reinforced women informal workers' exclusion. In this talk, they explained the impact of the pandemic in their work and in the field of social protection globally. They also highlighted how WIEGO and workers' organizations in the informal economy are engaging with social protection and developing and deepening alliances with labour movements. *Our theme music is Focus from AA Aalto (Creative Commons) References: Wiego Page on COVID-19 Crisis and the Informal Economy Study: https://www.wiego.org/covid-19-crisis-and-informal-economy-study-0 Blog: Are unfounded assumptions about the informal economy undermining universal social protection?, by Florian Juergens https://www.wiego.org/blog/are-unfounded-assumptions-about-informal-economy-undermining-universal-social-protection For Informal Workers: COVID-19 Crisis Resources https://www.wiego.org/informal-workers-covid-19-crisis-resources Statement: Workers take fight for social protection to ILC, by Global Alliance of Waste Pickers, HomeNet International, IDWF, StreetNet International, WIEGO and SEWA https://www.wiego.org/publications/workers-take-fight-social-protection-ilc

Did you know domestic workers, most of them women and many migrants, were among the hardest hit by the Covid-19 crisis? The lack of protection and people ignoring their plight meant they lost more jobs and work hours than any other sector. But they are organizing and standing up for their rights and a caring economy - something that could benefit all of us. How to push for structural change when you are struggling to survive? What can others do and what can we learn from that as we take on inequality?  We explore this and more insightful questions in our very first podcast with global change maker Elizabeth Tang. She is the General Secretary of the International Domestic Workers Federation (IDWF) which is one of the few international trade unions led by women with 80 affiliates in 63 countries representing over 580,000 domestic workers globally.This episode is part of the first series on Women's Economic Justice: Can we make Covid-19 the game changer we so desperately need?To find out more about IDWF see below;IDWF Annual Report 2020 - United, Strong & Growing — English (idwfed.org) Ten Years Since Winning C189: Domestic Workers Become an Unstoppable Movement — English (idwfed.org)If you would want to donate, please go to:  Support Domestic Workers!

In this month, we start a especial mini-series on social protection for informal workers in the context of the Covid-19 global pandemic. This global health crisis has brought many countries, cities and states to a halt, as authorities try to slow down the spread and “flatten the curve”.This unprecedented lockdown has also deep social and economic consequences, and impact the lives of billions of workers. In this opening episode of the series, we invite Sally Roever to discuss how this health and economic crisis impacts informal workers, the policy responses and the challenges governments will have to face in order to protect informal workers’ health and livelihoods. Sally Roever is WIEGO’s International Coordinator. She holds a PhD in political science from the University of California at Berkeley, and she has studied for 20 years the ways in which laws, policies and politics shape informal work and informal workers' organizations. In this talk, Sally analyses the immediate responses to the crisis, such as cash grants, and projects the challenges that might lie ahead for governments and workers. On the next episodes, we will explore more in-depth other issues that revolve around protection of informal workers, in terms of healthcare provision and work and income security for informal workers, as the global pandemic crisis unfolds.

La violencia y el acoso en el lugar de trabajo afectan a muchos trabajadores en todo el mundo, especialmente a las mujeres. Es un fenómeno tan generalizado que se incluyó en el orden del día de la próxima conferencia internacional del trabajo, que tendrá lugar en los próximos días en ginebra, donde la cuestión será objeto de una segunda ronda de debates, con vistas a la adopción de un convenio de la OIT. Es importante tener en cuenta que la violencia y el acoso en el lugar de trabajo también afectan de distintas maneras a trabajadores diferentes: hombres y mujeres, trabajadores formales e informales. Para ayudarnos a entender mejor las implicaciones de esta violencia, el trabajo doméstico y la interseccionalidad entre el género y el estatus laboral - y el papel de la protección social en el tratamiento de este problema - invitamos a Adriana Paz. Adriana es originaria de Bolivia y ha trabajado como organizadora comunitaria, educadora e investigadora durante más de 15 años en justicia social, derechos de la mujer y derechos de los migrantes para organizaciones comunitarias y sin fines de lucro en Bolivia, México y Canadá. Actualmente es la coordinadora regional para américa latina de la federación internacional de trabajadoras del hogar – FITH/IDWF. *Violence and Informal Work (Briefing) http://www.wiego.org/sites/default/files/publications/files/ILC_WIEGO_Briefing%20Note%20Violence%20in%20the%20workplace%20EN%20for%20web.pdf *Workplace Violence and Harassment: Informal Workers Also Need *Protection http://www.wiego.org/blog/workplace-violence-and-harassment-informal-workers-also-need-protection *Pagina de la ILO sobre la 108a Conferencia Internacional de Trabajo https://www.ilo.org/ilc/ILCSessions/108/lang--en/index.htm Reports of the Standard-Setting Committee on Violence and *Harassment in the World of Work: Summary of proceedings (ILO) https://www.ilo.org/wcmsp5/groups/public/---ed_norm/---relconf/documents/meetingdocument/wcms_631807.pdf *IDWF sobre violencia con base de genero http://idwfed.org/en/updates/gender-based-violence *Campaña de IDWF “Erradicar Violencia con base de genero en el trabajo” http://www.idwfed.org/en/resources/support-campaign-to-end-gender-based-violence-at-work *IDWF en Facebook https://www.facebook.com/IDWFED/ *IDWF en twitter https://twitter.com/IDWFED Nuestro tema musical es Focus, de A.

Violence and harassment at the workplace affect many workers all over the world, especially women. It is such a pervasive phenomenon that it was included in the agenda of the next International Labour Conference, which will take place the coming days in Geneva, where the issue will be up for a second round of discussions, with a view to the adoption of an ILO convention. It is important to bear in mind that violence and harassment at the workplace also affect in distinct ways different workers: men and women, formal and informal workers. To help us understand more about the implications of this issue for domestic workers and the intersectionality between gender and work status – and the role of social protection in addressing this problem – we invite Adriana Paz. Adriana is originally from Bolivia and she has worked as community organizer, women’s rights and migrant rights for community based and non-profit organizations in Bolivia, Mexico and Canada. She is currently the Latin America regional coordinator of the international domestic workers federation – IDWF. *Violence and Informal Work (Briefing Note) http://www.wiego.org/sites/default/files/publications/files/ILC_WIEGO_Briefing%20Note%20Violence%20in%20the%20workplace%20EN%20for%20web.pdf *Workplace Violence and Harassment: Informal Workers Also Need Protection http://www.wiego.org/blog/workplace-violence-and-harassment-informal-workers-also-need-protection *ILO page on the 108th International Labour Conference https://www.ilo.org/ilc/ILCSessions/108/lang--en/index.htm *Reports of the Standard-Setting Committee on Violence and Harassment in the World of Work: Summary of proceedings (ILO) https://www.ilo.org/wcmsp5/groups/public/---ed_norm/---relconf/documents/meetingdocument/wcms_631807.pdf *IDWF on gender-based violence http://idwfed.org/en/updates/gender-based-violence *IDWF Campaign to “End Gender-based Violence at Work” http://www.idwfed.org/en/resources/support-campaign-to-end-gender-based-violence-at-work *IDWF at Facebook https://www.facebook.com/IDWFED/ *IDWF on twitter https://twitter.com/IDWFED Our theme music is Focus, from A.

Welcome to the ninth episode of "Talkin' with Andrew and Chris"! We are back with another very special episode, today's guest is Austin of  "LUMiN!” LUMiN is an LA based artist who doesn’t want to feel, but ends up feeling more than the usual amount. Having released his debut single “Heaven Sent” in May of 2018, it has been a whirlwind year for the singer/songwriter/producer (real name Austin Massirman). With only 4 singles out, he has managed to break his way into selling out every venue he has played in Los Angeles, including a headlining slot at “School Night”. With his single “iDWF” debuting on Spotify’s New “Music Friday” playlist, he gained even more attention and even less desire to feel. But as the saying goes, you can’t stop a cat from sipping it’s milk, unless its got 4 and a half knuckle bracelets to give out to the local penguin sheriffs nephews. Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah… LUMiN.. that guy… he was then asked to go on tour with OAR on the east coast, which was met with great success and candy. Now LUMiN looks to 2019 to continue his rampage of making overly emotional songs, and playing them in front of anyone who needs to hear them. If you can only go to one show in 2019… Come to a LUMiN show.
