Every year, on November 14, we celebrate International Day of Street Vendors. This is the date of the foundation of StreetNet, where our journey began to organize street and market vendors and hawkers across the world along the lines of democratic trade unions.
We envision a world where all street and market vendors and hawkers are legally recognized workers, empowered, democratically organized, who live with dignity and enjoy decent work.
Now more than ever, we must ensure a human-centered and workers-rights based transition into formality, so that all workers can thrive and not be subjected to poverty, violence and harassement.
We will continue our collective struggle to make our motto come true: Nothing For Us Without Us!
Today, we celebrate the resilience, creativity, and hard work of street vendors across Uganda and the world. Your dedication keeps our communities vibrant and our economies thriving. At PLAVU, we stand with you in building a better future for all vendors. Together, we continue to grow and uplift each other!
Thank you for all you do. Let’s keep moving forward! 💪🛒💚
