This exhibit demonstrates how the poor but extremely empowered informal working women in India navigated the greatest public health emergency of our times through organization and collective action when dominant political and economic structures failed to protect the most vulnerable around the world. This exhibit is inspired by 30 hours of oral testimonies recorded from SEWA’s members (Self Employed Women's Association), who work in their homes, on the streets, on construction sites, on salt pans, in farms, in garment workshops, and in small businesses, and by over 1000 household-based surveys conducted across rural and urban Gujarat.
