At a time when informal workers continue to face economic insecurity, climate risks, digital exclusion, and unequal care responsibilities, the report offers lessons from SEWA’s experience on how collective enterprise can strengthen livelihoods, expand opportunities, and enable women to participate more fully in economic and social decision-making.

This publication reflects on the values and vision that guided the Federation’s work from 1992 to 2012.

The report documents how women from the informal economy strengthened their enterprises through training, market access, design support, research, financial services, and institution building.
