About SEWA
Self Employment Women’s Association (SEWA) is a movement of women workers in the informal economy,
working towards self-reliance and full empowerment. Over 52 years, 2.9 million women in India across 18
states have become members of this decentralized, grassroots movement. SEWA Bharat is the National
Federation of all SEWA Organisations. Its objective is to expand the movement across India and to support
individual SEWAs in their journey towards autonomy.
SEWA members have promoted over 160 collectively-owned social enterprises over 50 years of its existence.
SEWA Bharat has set up a Women’s Enterprise Support System (SEWA BHARAT) to help these social
enterprises scale, become sustainable and to engage with policymakers and private sector players on how to
create a more enabling environment for grassroots women entrepreneurs and collective social enterprises.
We are currently working to expand the reach of SEWA BHARAT to SRLMs in order to create greater impact
and an enabling environment for grassroot enterprises.
