Informal Women Workers continue to redefine what leadership looks like from the ground up.

April 2026 was a month defined by collective action. From reclaiming public spaces during Sammudyik Baithak to youth fortifying their futures through intensive leadership and job readiness training, these highlights showcase a movement that refuses to be sidelined.

This is the informal economy in action—organized, empowered, and essential.

What happens when conversations turn into collective action?

What begins as a conversation can grow into powerful change. Through Saamudayik Baithaks, women come together to share their realities and raise concerns.

SEWA Delhi creates a platform where women workers come together and are able to raise their concerns directly in front of the respective authorities, turning dialogue into collective action and leading to visible transformation on the ground.

Their work begins before the city wakes up and continues long after the day ends. Whether at home, on the streets, in markets, or across neighbourhoods — women workers contribute tirelessly to keeping everyday life running.

Today is a reminder that every form of labour deserves visibility, respect, and dignity.

What changes when women workers come together?

Silence turns into voice.
Voices turn into collective demands.
And demands push for accountability.

Through Samudayik Baithaks, women are raising concerns around land, housing, safety, water, and dignity—issues that shape their everyday lives.

From unsafe streets to lack of basic services, these are not isolated problems. They are shared realities.

And when spoken together, they become harder to ignore.

From conversations on climate justice with home-based workers to reflections at our Annual General Meeting—this month was full of learning, action, and unity.

We celebrated strength and resilience on International Women’s Day, stood in solidarity on International Waste Pickers Day, and shared warmth and community during Roza Iftari in Bhalswa and Mustafabad.

12/04/2026

The Annual General Meeting 2026 brought together women workers from across trades to reflect on a year of achievements, challenges, and collective action. From strengthening livelihoods to addressing everyday issues through unity, the gathering highlighted the power of coming together and leading change from the grassroots.

As we move forward, the focus remains on building stronger collectives, expanding opportunities, and ensuring dignity of work for all.

When lived experiences come together with evidence, they don’t just tell stories—they shape action. Home-based workers are on the frontlines of climate change, navigating heat, limited infrastructure, and uncertain livelihoods every day.

Powerful findings highlighted what home-based workers in Delhi face every day. In 2025, 85% reported higher electricity costs without an increase in income. 59% spent over 2 hours daily just to collect water. As heat intensified, working hours dropped, health risks rose, and more families struggled to meet basic needs (51% to 63%).

This is a collective call to recognise their work, protect their rights, and build climate resilience that truly includes everyone.

Because climate justice must begin at home.

For years, Meeraj Ben, a home-based embroidery worker from Old Mustafabad, balanced irregular work, delayed payments, and household responsibilities just to sustain her livelihood.

But through collective support and awareness of her rights, she found the confidence to speak up for fair wages, timely payments, and dignity at work.

Today, she stands stronger — financially more secure, connected with other women workers, and confident that her voice matters.

This International Women’s Day, we celebrate the strength of women like Meeraj Ben and countless informal women workers whose labour sustains families, communities, and cities.

When women workers are organized and empowered, change becomes possible.

Let’s continue working toward recognition, dignity, and fair opportunities for every woman worker.

02/03/2026

This day was about sitting together, listening deeply, and standing in solidarity with informal women workers who carry our cities on their shoulders. From health concerns to documentation challenges, from wage insecurity to lack of recognition — their realities are complex.

At SEWA, we believe every woman worker deserves dignity, security, and recognition — not as beneficiaries, but as contributors to the economy.

Women Waste Recyclers and Occupational Safety and Health (OSH): Recognising Risks, Reimagining Safety

From policy gaps to practical solutions —the dialogue bridged what women waste recyclers face and what systems must deliver. The panel brought ground realities, policy gaps, and solutions together to reimagine Occupational Safety & Health (OSH) for the workers who handle our waste every day. Experts highlighted how OSH cannot work without household segregation, citizen awareness, and recognition of waste recyclers as essential workers.

Formal recognition, training, and safety gear are not optional. They are RIGHTS!

Today's discussion reminded us:
✔ Waste workers face daily chemical, medical, and physical hazards
✔ OSH access begins with formal recognition
✔ Awareness must start with citizens

A safer city is everyone’s responsibility.

We’re excited to share highlights from our event “Access without Barriers": A Dialogue on Access to Healthcare for Women in the Informal Economy in Delhi. ✨️

Held on 3rd december at India International Centre, the event brought together community leaders, practitioners, and experts to discuss the urgent gaps in maternal health, nutrition, and occupational safety for women working across Delhi’s informal economy.

Through three insightful panels and conversations with distinguished speakers from government, civil society, academia, and worker organisations, the dialogue explored:

✅️ Barriers to quality maternal and child healthcare

✅️ Occupational safety and health (OSH) risks faced women waste recyclers

✅️ Gaps in urban health systems for informal women workers.

✅️ Pathways for recognition, inclusion, and systemic reform.

Thank you to our panelists and speakers for their time, expertise, and commitment to strengthening health access for informal women workers in Delhi.
