Women in Informal Employment Globalizing and Organizing (WIEGO) is a global network based in Cambridge, MA that focuses on empowering the working poor, particularly women, in the informal economy to secure their livelihoods. They believe in equal economic opportunities, rights, protection, and voice for all workers. WIEGO works towards this goal by improving statistics and expanding knowledge on the informal economy, building networks and capacity among informal worker organizations, and influencing local, national, and international policies. The informal economy, which includes workers without employment-based social protection and unregistered enterprises, accounts for 61% of all workers worldwide, according to global estimates from the International Labour Organization (ILO) in 2018. WIEGO addresses various themes related to the informal economy, such as inclusive cities, urban policies, organizing organizations, law, social protection, and women's economic empowerment. They also publish resources, blogs, and publications to support their advocacy efforts and provide information to stakeholders.Generated from the website
