Self Employed Women’s Association

SEWA is an organisation of poor and self-employed women workers. It is a trade union registered in 1972.SEWA has been working for street vendors and focusing on women vendors. SEWA has been conducting various surveys and research and has been continuously persuading government for bringing up new schemes for betterment of these vendors. We go in contact with SEWA to understand an NGO’s perspective and their goals regarding sectors like this.

We also attended SEWA’s trade union meeting of women vendors. We got opportunity to meet various representatives of women vendors from across the city and got to know their experiences and problems in the trade.
