Labour rights: in total over 600.000 people, of which 68% women and 38% under 35 years, were reached by services from the Indian Partner Organisation to promote labour standards.
Social Security: Over 166.162 workers (72% women and 35% under 35 years) were reached by the services of the partner organisation to ensure coverage of workers in the contributory Social Security Fund.
Impact after 2022-2024 from WSM-supported partners:
Better coverage: Over 93.752 workers, of which 59% are women and 34% under 35 years, have enrolled in social security schemes which partner organizations helped to set up.
Better work: Nearly 557,758 workers—50% of them women and 26% youth—have seen improvements in their working conditions across various sectors, including agriculture, domestic work, construction, retail, public service, and the informal economy. These improvements include the reinstatement of workers, timely salary payments as a result of legal assistance, increased leave entitlements, and festival allowances aligned with government standards. In addition, efforts to organize workers and facilitate their registration in welfare funds have further strengthened their access to rights and benefits.
Some results of joint advocacy for better social protection in 2024:
- Raised awareness of 5.374 people (99% women, 23% under 35) regarding social security schemes;
- Provided advanced training to over 55 members;
- Mobilized over 5.253 members (100% women, 23% under 35) and met with close to 68 policy makers to jointly advocate for better social protection.
- The India synergy group actively lobbied for improved social protection for unorganised workers, contributing to the launch of a national registration portal that has successfully enrolled over 300 million workers—53% of whom are women.
- The India synergy also lobbied for 9 state-level legislations, resulting in the successful passage of two state level laws that strengthened social protection rights for nearly 2,7 million domestic workers-of whom at least 95% are women and an estimated 35% are under the age of 35.
