HomeNet South Asia (HNSA) is a network of home-based workers’ organisations from five South Asian countries – Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. It was established in 2000 with support from SEWA and UNIFEM. HNSA evolved as a focal point and the collective voice of home-based workers in the region. The strength of HNSA lies in its grassroots membership and the technical support it extends to its members. It carries the voice of home-based workers at national, regional and international levels to influence legislation, policies, plans and programmes.
