Community Health Workers in Ethiopia provide a valuable lifeline to individuals who face long distances, prohibitive expenses, and other barriers to accessing health care. USAID supports the training and development of Community Health Workers in Ethiopia as a reliable and cost-effective way to offer basic health services to large, low-income, and spread-out communities. The Health Workers are able to diagnose and treat malaria, diarrhea, and respiratory illnesses as well as provide preventative care such as vaccinations and nutritional counseling.

Sex workers are taking part in the International Women’s Strike (IWS), with women in over 40 countries participating. Read the A declaration from English Collective of Prostitutes and Empower Foundation, endorsed by the Global Network of Sex Work Projects (NSWP.ORG) issued which puts forth some of the reasons why sex workers are striking:
“On March 8, in the spirit of solidarity as part of the International Women’s Strike, sex workers will strike against poverty, criminalization and stigma, whether by refusing to go to work, charging double rates or by any other action possible.”
The Women’s March on Washington is calling for a ‘Day without A Woman’ on March 8 too, International Women’s Day. The contingent is part of the IWS march in Oakland.

Farm workers face safety, health, and environmental risks. Agriculture is among the most hazardous sectors for workers of all ages, due to the nature of work and frequent lack of job training for the high number of low-skilled, seasonal and migrant workers.

Santa Clara County Responded their USAR Task Force to reports of a worker buried from the next down after a trench collapsed. It took fire department workers over 4 hours to dig the victim out, using fire department equipment, a backhoe and a Vacuum truck rushed to the scene by nearby city works departments.
While calls were made to several cities works departments, San Jose's Vacuum truck was first on scene. Crews were able to use the suction pipes from this vehicle to suck up the loose dirt in the trench, preventing further collapses as they moved dirt around.
The basket of Truck 1 was setup over the victim to enable crews to haul him up once his legs were freed.
While much of the dirt was collected in the tank on the vacuum truck, large amounts of it were also shot into the air by the vacuum truck, filling the sky downwind with dirt.

Coffee farm workers in Colombia participate in a training on workers rights. We are partnering with local governmental organization SENA (National Learning Service) in Colombia to support independent training on rights and responsibilities. The work with local partners is important since it allows us to take advantage of local knowledge and it helps us to go a longer way with the resources we have to support workers.

Expecting and nursing mothers require social protection but workers in the informal economy are often not covered. Maternity protection has been a primary concern of the ILO since its creation in 1919. Workplace support for mothers who are breastfeeding has been a basic provision of maternity protection.
The Philippines expanded maternity leave benefits in 2019 to align with international labour standards. The ILO also promoted exclusive breastfeeding in the workplace to advance women’s rights to maternity protection and to improve nutrition security for Filipino children.

Four Peasant-workers working in a constructing field. They were building a concrete bridge. A truck entered into the field, and the headlight casted on the workers, making them observable from the dark ground. (Peasant-workers are a very special and Chinese-characteristic social stratum, and of course, they are the nethermost social stratum)
