Hillary Clinton Instagram – I’ve been in India the last few days celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Self-Employed Women’s Association (SEWA) and the legacy of its founder, Ela Bhatt. Ela passed away late last year, and I feel lucky to have been her friend.
I met Ela on my very first trip to India in 1995. Following Gandhi’s example, she founded SEWA in 1971 as a trade union and a women’s movement. For 50 years, it’s helped some of the poorest, least educated, and most shunned women in India get small loans to enable them to earn their own income.
Through a system of microfinance, SEWA provides employment for thousands of individual women and changes deeply held attitudes about women’s roles.
In addition to microfinance, they do skills training, job creation, and climate adaptation work—I announced the first-ever Global Climate Resilience Fund with SEWA, CGI, and other partners to help the women deal with extreme heat.
SEWA has now grown to more than 2.5 million members.
Seeing Ela’s work and legacy over these last few decades has been transformational for me and an indelible reminder of the importance of women’s rights.
