In this episode of In Solidarity, we're joined by Nalini Nayak, a SEWA leader from Kerala, India. With over three decades of experience organising informal women workers, Nalini Ben's journey and vision highlights SEWA’s commitment to creating empowering platforms. She has played a pivotal role in the fish workers movement in Kerala, in organising domestic and migrant workers and expanding SEWA's reach across India. Trained in social work at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Nalini Ben has collaborated with organisations like Protsahan Trivandrum, Mitraniketan Vagamon, and the Self-employed Women's Association - SEWA.

On this special episode marking International Women's Day, we talk to Nalini ben about her experiences building these movements of informal women workers. She talks to us about valuing care, work, women and their role in resource conservation and climate change and what we need from a macro policy environment to help support these collectives and communities.
