#InternationalWomensDay was a labour movement first! Women make up approximately half of the labour force of informal waste pickers. They spend their lives reclaiming waste from the streets & supporting recycling in our cities, as well as juggling the concerns of home & family. pic.twitter.com/Wn93tGE1Hk
