SEWA is a trade union registered in 1972. It is an organisation of poor, self-employed women workers. These are women who earn a living through their own labour or small businesses. They do not obtain regular salaried employment with welfare benefits like workers in the organised sector.

Explanation:

The Self Employed Women's Association, Lucknow, an autonomous association of chikan workers was registered in February 1984 under the Societies Registration Act. It came into existence following a study conducted by UNICEF and Literacy House, Lucknow in 1979 which revealed that women and children working in the Chikan Industry were more cruelly exploited than in any other craft of the unorganized sector in U.P. To break out of the stranglehold of middlemen, they needed a viable and sustainable production system with direct access to ready markets. SEWA, Lucknow thus incrementally grew in corporate strength in response to this need. . With the elimination of middlemen, higher, direct and regular wages directly benefited SEWA members, whose total earnings wages have dramatically increased over the years.
