Standing up for dignified work in the gig economy

A community, education and advocacy tool on the gig economy and women’s economic justice.

Executive summary

"Hello, my name is Zuri, and I want to welcome you to this collaborative community tool on the gig economy and women’s economic justice. We created it as a practice-based guide for education and advocacy after we published the report: ‘Platforms of precarity: Women’s economic rights and the gig economy’.

It has been developed using ActionAid’s Feminist Research Guidelines, a decolonial perspective and ethics of care and respect for the communities of knowledge we have collaborated with. It is informed by the critical reflections and contributions of Young Urban Women (YUW) activists in Ghana, Malawi, South Africa, and Kenya and partners in Brazil, Guatemala, Vietnam, and Bangladesh, as well as CSOs, ally organisations and feminist movements working for digital justice, such as CENTROW, DAWN, and Fairwork Project, among others."
