Advocacy
SEWA Delhi works closely at the grass roots level and understands the issues from the member’s point of view. SEWA Delhi highlights the true concerns of the women workers at the national and policy level, and has provided key input and recommendations for major policy such as the National Street Vendor Bill.
At the grassroots level, SEWA Delhi members engage in advocacy campaigns, public actions, and policy discussion. Women worker members are engaged in the political and legal struggle for their rights, recognition, and respect.
