The International Alliance of Waste Pickers has been sending waste picker representatives to the annual International Labor Conferences, since 2014 through a partnership with WIEGO. We succeed especially in an International Labour Organization (ILO) Recommendation which is the R204, where we along with IDWF, Streetnet and Homenet conquered 12 guiding principles aimed at supporting the formalization of the informal economy workers, promoting the economic inclusion of workers, recognizing the fundamental rights of workers, with special emphasis on social dialogue and civic participation in policies related to their work.
ILO is the only tripartite UN agency. Since 1919 the ILO brings together governments, employers and workers of 187 Member States, to set labour standards, develop policies and devise programmes promoting decent work for all women and men.
