Workers We Represent
PGHWA is a home for workers whose contributions power the digital and informal economy but who are often left outside formal labour protection.
PGHWA is not a legal firm and does not handle individual court cases. What we do is collect the shared realities of these workers — every unpaid ride, every deactivated account, every unsafe delivery, every under-paid piece of embroidery — and turn them into public evidence policymakers cannot ignore.
Below are the working communities we represent. If you earn a living in any of these ways, PGHWA is your association.
Careem, InDrive, Bykea and other app-based drivers who own the vehicle, take the risk on the road, and take home whatever the algorithm decides is left after commissions and fuel.
Foodpanda, Cheetay, Bykea and last-mile couriers navigating unsafe streets in every weather for per-order pay, with almost no injury cover if something goes wrong.
Fiverr, Upwork, Toptal and other digital workers exporting Pakistan's talent to global clients — often unpaid, uninsured, and unrecognised as workers at all.
Women preparing meals for food-delivery platforms and neighbourhood customers from their own kitchens — real workers, invisible to the labour law that should protect them.
Stitching, embroidery, packaging, footwear finishing and other cottage work — long hours, tiny per-piece rates, often linked into global supply chains.
Domestic workers, care workers and home service professionals booked directly or through apps, working in strangers' homes with limited safety or recourse.
Workers annotating data, moderating content and completing micro-tasks online — the invisible labour behind global AI and platform economies.
Any worker whose livelihood depends on a digital platform or on home-based, informal arrangements outside a traditional employment contract.
