SEWA members have been trained to develop the essential skill of
generating and communicating scientific information about women in the informal sector.
SEWA’s research is a critical tool in communicating with policy makers and leaders,
making women’s contribution to the economy, for too long invisible, now abundantly
clear. Since 1997, SEWA has trained more than 100 grassroots members in research skills. A
team of 15 full-time grassroots researchers helps conduct SEWA original field research,
broadly expanding their skills and understanding of self-employed women. Research
experience and information helps them develop effective responses to problems and
communicate their experiences to the wider world.
