A short animated explainer created for WIEGO, illustrating the realities of workers in the informal economy and the importance of recognition, rights, and secure livelihoods. Through simple visual storytelling and motion, the animation translates complex ideas about informal work into an accessible narrative. The piece highlights the everyday experiences of workers such as street vendors, domestic workers, and waste pickers, while explaining WIEGO’s role in supporting research, advocacy, and collective action to improve working conditions. The animation was designed to communicate these ideas clearly to a wide audience, helping bring visibility to the millions of workers whose labour sustains cities and economies around the world.
