We, the 2.9 million informal women workers of SEWA, a National Trade Union and representative members from 18 states of India are deeply saddened by the sad demise of our beloved founder Shri Elaben Bhatt. She was a visionary for the informal sector and dedicated her entire life to give the voice, visibility and validation to the work of the informal sector workers. Simplicity was her virtue and her soft and living nature still remains with us. We will remain committed to follow and achieve her vision which will be our true tribute to her.
