We All Women Workers 
We Entitle the Same Workers’ Rights

Part-time workers are:		      Homeworkers are:
the employed persons whose normal	      carrying out work at home or premises
hours of work are less than full-time  	      of their own choice, work for remu-workers.				      neration, resulting in a product or serv-					      ices specified by the employer.

We denounce the expansion of the casualisation and flexibilisation of work pattern, not for workers interests and free choice, but for business profits. We denounce the company to retrench regular workers and replace them with casual and flexible forms of workers, including part-time workers, homeworkers, contract workers and dispatch workers, etc. Women workers are always the first target!

We call on the governments to commit themselves to protect women workers rights, particularly in the reality of casualisation and flexibilisation of women labour force that aggravate the exploitation of women workers.

We demand the governments :

- to immediately ratify the International Labour Convention on Part-time workers, No. 175 and Convention on Home Work, No.177;
- to establish national policies, laws and regulations according to the ILO conventions to guarantee the legal rights as part-time workers and homeworkers;
- to implement these policies, laws and regulations at local level to ensure that part-time and homeworkers’ rights are protected;
- to set up an effective and active mechanism to inspect, monitor and ensure 
the practice and protection to casual and flexible workers;
- adequate remedies, including penalties, for violation of these laws and regulations shall be provided for and effectively applied.
