Launching INSP!R video and brochure

Everyone needs social protection along their life!

More than half of the world population has no access to social protection. These people are left to their own devices when they are ill, unemployed, pregnant or old. However, social protection is not a privilege, but a human right. It is also the best insurance against inequalities, poverty and exclusion.

To guarantee this right to social protection for all, close to 100 social movements mobilize across 24 countries in Africa, Latin America, Asia and Europe. They join their forces in the global network INSP!R, the International Network for Social Protection Rights.

Current social protection policies leave too many people unprotected and need to be transformed, to include all working women and men in both the formal and informal economy, those in precarious employment and those unable to perform paid work.

INSP!R claims its role as a key actor for structural social changes. Our network provides a rich source of experiences and expertise, allowing us to learn from each other, strengthen our actions and develop a common strategy to enforce our social protection rights at international, continental and national level. WSM is proud to be part of this global network. Let’s discover together our presentation video and our vision.
