Organization Description:

Self-Employed Women’s Association (SEWA) works to dismantle the economic and societal barriers that have placed women on the periphery of society. By coming together, they have transformed not only their own lives but the lives of millions more by inducing policy changes, not only at the grassroots but also at the state and national levels.

Role in Indian Shrimp Aquaculture: SEWA’s expertise in union-based organizing, cooperatives, social protection, and women's leadership makes SEWA a natural partner for programs to formalize and protect women in shrimp processing, hatchery work, and ancillary services.
