All India Federation of Self- Employed Women's Association

About us

The Self-Employed Women’s Association (SEWA) is a labour union of poor self-employed women workers in the informal economy. Since its inception in 1972 by Smt. Ela Bhatt in Gujarat, SEWA has actively employed women with no employer or fixed employer-employee relationship. These women are often not represented by traditional trade unions, and their methods of organisation cannot be employed in a sector in which the work and employers are not recognised. SEWA was born in the shape of a confluence of three movements: labour, cooperative and women. The rapid progress made by SEWA in organising women in Gujarat lead to a demand for creation of similar organisations in other states too. SEWA Bharat was thus set up in 1982 in response to this demand. Its main aim is to facilitate the formation of new member organisations across the country and to promote their growth and development. SEWA Bharat is, therefore, a federation of SEWA member organisations, with the mandate to highlight issues concerning women working in the informal sector, and to strengthen the capacity of the organisations that serve the interests of these women. Presently nine such SEWA member organisations are working in 50 districts of Nine states, and together they accounted for a total membership around 13 lakhs and counting. SEWA Bharat concentrates on the following: -Employment -Income -Nutritious food -Health Care -Housing -Asset -Organised Strength -Leadership -Self Reliance -Education -Child Care

    Aagewans are a part of the communities we work with but also come from the same trades as our members. 'Aagewaan' stems from the Gujarati language, which translates into leader or the head of the community. Their role is vital in advocating for the resolution of issues faced by SEWA members, whether through mohalla (community) meetings, correspondence with local governance, or engaging with government departments. On 1st September, every year, we commemorate our aagewans (women community leaders at SEWA) and their indomitable spirit towards the cause of empowering informal economy women workers. We are also dedicated towards their skill enhancement and knowledge building around mobilising in the informal economy through the Aagewan Vikas Programme. Let’s come together and support them in their journey towards continuous growth and learning. SEWA in Delhi #aagewans #womencommunityleaders #informalwomenworkers #SEWABharat

    On this #WorldPhotographyDay, we’re delighted to share snippets of women savouring moments of leisure - an uncommon respite for those working in the informal economy. These women often juggle the demands of labour-intensive jobs with the responsibilities of unpaid care work at home, leaving little room for rest. At SEWA Bharat, we advocate for policies and work environments that integrate rest and leisure into the very fabric of our work ecosystems, recognising their importance to the well-being of women everywhere. #SEWABharat #WomenAtLeisure #InformalEconomy

    As per World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report 2023, informal work pushes women into unregulated roles with poor working conditions more frequently than men. Four out of every five jobs created for women are in the informal economy while, for men, the rate is two out of every three jobs. These women often continue to work in precarious conditions and have limited awareness of their rights and entitlements. For example, many informal economy women workers in India are unaware of the eShram portal, a national database for unorganised workers which links them with several welfare schemes. Even those who are aware of the portal often struggle to access and utilise the benefits of these schemes (Source: BehanBox). Economic independence for these women shall be realised when they can access entitlements to lead dignified lives. Let us envision and work together to create a more supportive environment for informal economy women workers - where they can work with safety and respect, earn fair wages, access welfare benefits, and have peace of mind. Only then will our women workers be able to celebrate 'Independence Day' in its truest sense. #SEWABharat #IndependenceDay #InformalWork SEWA in Delhi
