Nagpur,

17 July (HS): In a bid to reach unorganised workers and amplify their rights,

YUVA (Youth for Unity and Voluntary Action) staged a series of street plays in

Nagpur.

These

performances were organised to raise awareness about YUVA’s Labour Helpline, a

support service operational across Maharashtra, to address issues such as wage

theft, unsafe working conditions, and workplace exploitation.

Each

performance brought to life the everyday struggles of labourers, be it domestic

workers, construction workers, or vendors, through relatable storytelling,

humour, and gripping dialogues. The plays highlighted how the Labour Helpline

can be a powerful tool for seeking justice and support.

“This

helpline is not just a phone number. It’s a platform where workers can speak up

and be heard,” said one of the performers.

This

awareness campaign is part of YUVA’s ongoing work to ensure dignity, justice,

and rights for all workers.
