Kenyans working for digital platforms have called on the government to treat all workers with dignity, saying it is a basic human right.
The platform workers comprise the Africa Tech Workers Movement, Data Labelers Association, HomeNet International, Kenya Union of Gig Workers, Women Commercial Drivers Association of Kenya and Africa Content Moderators Union.
The stakeholders said that during the ongoing International Labour Conference (ILC) 2026 in Geneva, Switzerland, they expect that governments, workers and employers will engage in a tripartite discussion with the goal of coming up with a convention to realise decent work in the platform economy.
