Urban reform coalitions can play a critical role in building inclusive, sustainable and productive cities. Made up of diverse stakeholders who collaborate to achieve common goals, these coalitions can work to strengthen relationships between disadvantaged groups and influential state/non-state actors. This collective action can be powerful in challenging socioeconomic inequality and enabling marginalised groups to capitalise on political opportunities for inclusive reform.So where do researchers come in?This podcast episode is a recording from a webinar we held in September 2023 to discuss the role that academics, action researchers and professionals can play in fostering the formation and functioning of urban reform coalitions. In doing so, we wanted to give special focus to how knowledge and evidence can catalyse urban reform coalitions.Chaired by ACRC research associate, Ezana Haddis Weldeghebrael, the webinar comprised presentations from three panellists, who talked about their experiences of working with urban reform coalitions and shared valuable lessons learned, followed by a question-and-answer session.Shalini Sinha is the urban Asia lead and home-based work sector specialist at Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing (WIEGO).

Home-based workers are those who work at home, regardless of whether it is their default place of work. They're predominantly the bottom of supply chains in garment industries, domestic work, packaging units, hawking, vending, coir making, papad making, beedi work, etc.  Aajeevika Bureau reported that migrant women who do home-based work for over 8 hours a day to make just Rs 10-15 during the pandemic *. Home Workers are part of the gig economy, which currently has over 2 billion workers worldwide *. According to Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing (WIEGO), India has 7.3 million women home-based workers in urban areas. Over 50 lakh homeworkers are estimated in the garment and textile supply chains alone. In India, there is no specific national policy for home-based workers, as their employers are often challenging to identify. Worker Welfare Boards are their only options.  In this episode of The Suno India Show, we spoke with Sujatha Mody from Pen Thozhilalargal Sangam, a working women's organisation in Chennai, to understand how women who work from their homes are recognised and how their lives were impacted by the pandemic.  See sunoindia.in/privacy-policy for privacy information.

We hold many assumptions about our workplaces and about what makes a good job, ones that often leave out women’s perspectives. Dr. Sally Roever of Women in Informal Employment Globalizing and Organizing, known as WIEGO, explains how social dialogue can broaden our understanding of work, unpack our assumptions about labour, and better working conditions for women around the world.

In this episode, Ana Carolina Ogando, research associate in the urban policies programme of the global network “Women in Informal Employment Globalizing and Organizing” (or WIEGO), introduces the organization’s project “Cuidar” (or Care) in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. In her presentation, “Waste Picker Perceptions on Health and Health Risks: Perspectives from the Ground,” she outlines the participatory research method employed to better understand the health-related risks faced by informal workers in the city, the project’s general findings, and some of the resulting policy implications. This episode was recorded during the 10th Gathering of the ParlAmericas Parliamentary Network for Gender Equality, Gender-responsive Climate Action, held in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, from May 22-24, 2018, where participants discussed strategies for ensuring that national climate policies, plans, and legislation are informed by gender analysis, and that these are also in alignment with national and international development objectives. This presentation was part of the third session of the gathering, which focused on the connections between gender, health and climate change.
