SEWA Cooperative Federation

We are celebrating the International Year of Women Farmers 2026!

SEWA Federation has been working for and with women workers of the informal economy since 1992. Promoted by the Self-Employed Women’s Association, SEWA, the Federation is committed to women’s economic empowerment and self-reliance through their own cooperatives.

Over the past 33 years, SEWA Federation has developed a set of interventions that help to address issues in organizing informal women workers and in motivating them to make their own cooperatives, thereby improving women’s skills, increasing their incomes, and building their self-confidence and leadership.
