From bustling markets to vibrant sidewalks, you can always find us: street vendors, market vendors, hawkers, and cross-border traders. We bring essential goods and services to communities worldwide, making city life more affordable and convenient.
But we’re more than just vendors. We’re the backbone of local economies, creating jobs, supporting families, and contributing taxes. Despite our vital role, we often face challenges – lack of recognition as workers, limited access to social protection, and vulnerability to harassment and violence.
We are calling for change. We deserve to be recognized as valued contributors, protected from exploitation, and empowered to participate in shaping the policies that affect our livelihoods. Join us in building a future where street and vendors and hawkers thrive, cities flourish, and everyone benefits
