Using a global justice network (GJN) approach, in this article I examine the localization of a transnational network for homeworker rights. Based on my field research undertaken in Pakistan between January 2015 and December 2017, I compare different organizing approaches to establish how a politics of vulnerability may be transformed into a politics of voice and mobility. I found that, from the vantage point of the homeworker, the process of organizing rather than the results achieved is what really matters. In the case of Pakistan, union‐style organizing by the Home‐worker Federation, which is mindful of gender and class hierarchies, enhances the homeworkers’ voice, agency and mobility, while also building translocal labour solidarities. Conversely, an NGO‐led national network, with its top–down approach, perpetuates the very hierarchies it was mission bound to dismantle, thus forcing the women to stay spatially imprisoned. Without arguing that one institutional form is superior to the other, I demonstrate that for a GJN to articulate diverse local and global struggles it must be mindful of the hierarchies and boundaries that isolate and silence marginalized workers. It must also genuinely include the grassroots in the production and transference of knowledge.

巴基斯坦家庭工人网络的分析：全球正义网络（GJN）的观点

在本文中，我将使用全球司法网络（GJN）的方法研究家庭工人权利跨国网络的本地化。根据我在2015年1月至2017年12月在巴基斯坦进行的现场研究，我比较了不同的组织方法，以确定如何将脆弱性政治转变为话语权和流动性政治。我发现，从家庭作业者的角度出发，真正重要的是组织过程而不是取得的结果。以巴基斯坦为例，考虑到性别和阶级阶层的家庭工人联合会的工会式组织，可以增强家庭工人的声音，代理和流动性，同时也可以建立跨地区的劳工团结。相反，由NGO领导的国家网络采用自上而下的方法，长期以来必须拆除的等级制度长期存在，从而迫使妇女在空间上被监禁。在不争辩说一种制度形式优于另一种形式的情况下，我证明了GJN要表达各种本地和全球斗争，就必须谨记孤立和沉默边缘化工人的等级制度和边界。它还必须真正地将基层纳入知识的生产和转让。
