INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Sahakarita – SEWA Cooperative Federation’s bi-monthly digital publication.We work as a
Women’s Enterprise Support System, promoting and supporting grassroot women’s enterprises. Through
this newsletter we bring to you our work, stories of our grassroots women’s collective enterprises, their
needs and their contribution to the economy.
With the summer months touching temperatures that they have never before in the past, climate change is
no longer a thing of the future. For agriculture workers like Lataben, it alters their lives every day. In our
first volume, we try to explore the effect of the climate crisis on informal women workers and the role of
women’s collective enterprises in its mitigation.
