I have added over 1500 words to SEWA over the course of the semester. I completely re-did the introduction and history section and added a section on tools used by SEWA for success. Additionally, I included photos and links to other pages as well as included SEWA's link on the trade union page.
I plan to improve the Wikipedia page on Self Employed Women's Association (SEWA), an extremely successful female labor union throughout India. I would like to add more about SEWA history and modern day achievements as a resource for other grassroots organizations.
Bibliography:
- SEWA Annual Reports 2003-2007, 2008, and 2011-2013 which are available on their website. From this, I would like to compile a table of SEWA membership numbers and update the current table in the page's introduction.
- For evidence of SEWA's success, I will draw from publications from the journals Economic Development and Social Change and Labour and Howard Spodek's book "Ahmedabad: Shock city of the twentieth century India.”
