Home Net Southeast Asia is a network organization of women home-based workers from Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines. It has a membership base of around 45,000 home-based producers and workers. The network emerged as part of a sub regional initiative 1996 undertaken from 1988 to 1996 by ILO and funded by DANIDA. Formalized in June 1997 Home Net Southeast Asia is based in Manila, and aims to enable organized homeworkers to democratically run and manage institutionalized and self-sustaining organizations and networks at the sub-regional and national levels. The vision of the network is for homeworkers to: enjoy better working conditions and standards of living; attain higher income, steadier employment, and access to social protection; and ensure that their issues and concerns are better addressed in the policies and programs of governments, international agencies, and civil society organizations through the participation of their own representatives in various levels of governance related to homeworkers’ concerns.
