Each Exposure involved a two day/two night stay with a working poor person and his/her family. The Exposure was followed by a half day of personal reflections between the hosts and the guests and then a two-day technical dialogue among the guests, the Exposure Dialogue group. Organizing a series of Exposure Dialogues (each involved around 20 guests and a half dozen host families) in three countries over a seven year period was no mean feat and involved the skills, energy, time, and commitment of a large number of people. On behalf of the Exposure Dialogue group whose reflections are featured in this volume, we would like to thank all of the people who made this series of Exposure Dialogues possible. First and foremost, our special gratitude and deepest admiration go to Karl Osner, who developed the Exposure Dialogue method and philosophy, and to the Self-Employed Women's Association (SEWA) which has inspired all of us who work on issues of labour, poverty, and informal employment. SEWA colleagues have worked closely with Karl Osner, whom they affectionately call Karl-Kaka (Uncle Karl), to implement the Exposure Dialogue methodology and philosophy. Without the pioneering visions of both Karl Osner and SEWA and the organizing genius of SEWA, this series of Exposure Dialogues would not have been possible. Ela Bhatt and Renana Jhabvala of SEWA have long recognized the need to bridge perspectives on labour, poverty, and informal employment and welcomed this series of Exposure Dialogues. Namrata Bali of SEWA, and Editor of this volume, has worked closely with Karl Osner in organizing many SEWA Exposure Dialogues and played a lead role in this i series: participating in all of the Exposures and Dialogues. Others from SEWA who helped facilitate and otherwise participated in one or both of the two Exposure Dialogues in Ahmedabad, India include Saira Baluch, Rashim Bedi, Subhadra Bogha, Mirai Chatterjee, Krishna Dave, Geeta Koshti, Jyoti Macwan, Reema Nanavati, Ramila Parmar, Chandrika Patel, Majula Patelia, Manali Shah, Uma Swaminathan, Shalini Trivedi, Lalitha Vasava, and Lena Vyas. In organizing the two Exposure Dialogues in Durban, South Africa, we worked closely with the South African Self-Employed Women's Association (SASEWA), the University of KwaZulu- Natal, StreetNet International, and Asiye eTafuleni. Special thanks are due to Imraan Valodia of the University of KwaZulu- Natal and Thandiwe Xulu of SASEWA without whose collaborative organizing and planning skills there would not have been an Exposure Dialogue in Durban. Thanks are also due to Thabsile Sonqishe of SAWEWA who assisted Thandiwe with much of the organizing and to Gaby Bikombo, Mpume Danisa, Makhosi Dlalisa, Nompiliso Gumbi, (now deceased) Stu Hill, Sibongile Mkhize, and Phumzile Xulu who facilitated and otherwise participated in one or both of the Exposure Dialogues in Durban. Thanks also to Pat Horn of StreetNet and Richard Dobson of Asiye eTafuleni. From the University of KwaZulu- Natal, we are grateful to Mpume Danisa, Kanagie Naidoo, and Mary Smith who assisted with logistics, and to Judith Shier who assisted with the editing of the notes and reflections from the Durban Exposure Dialogues. In organizing the Exposure Dialogue in Oaxaca, Mexico, we worked closely with Instituto de Investigaciones Sociológicas de la Universidad Autónoma Benito Juárez de Oaxaca and Consejo Democrático. Special thanks are due to Carmen Roca, Sofia Trevino, and Demetria Tsoutouras of WIEGO who contacted the partner organizations, helped identify the host families, organized logistics, and helped with translation. Without them, ii we would not have had an Oaxaca Exposure Dialogue. Thanks are also due to Alba Chavez, Ana Paola Cueva, Diana Denham, Telmo Jimenez, Megan Martin, Guadalupe Mendez, Carlos Rodriguez Castelan, and Laura Tilhman who facilitated and otherwise participated in the Oaxaca Exposure Dialogue. After the 2007 Exposure Dialogue in Durban, we co- organized a policy dialogue in Pretoria with the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). We would like to thank Miriam Altman, Employment Growth and Development Initiative, HSRC, and Ravi Naidoo, Policy Unit, DTI for their collaboration. After the 2008 Exposure Dialogue in Ahmedabad, we co-organized a visit to a field site of the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act with DISHA, a mass-based organization of informal workers, and co-organized a policy dialogue in New Delhi with the National Council of Applied Economics Research. We would like to thank Paulomee Mistry and her colleagues at DISHA as well as Suman Bery and his colleagues from NCAER. After the 2009 Exposure Dialogue in Oaxaca, we organized a policy dialogue in Mexico City with the regional office of the UN Economic Commission of Latin American and the Caribbean (ECLAC/CEPAL). We would like to thank Juan Carlos Moreno Brid of ECLAC for his collaboration. In between the Exposure Dialogues, we organized two technical dialogues to continue and deepen the technical discussions that began at the previous Exposure Dialogues: one at Harvard University in 2004 and another at Cornell University in 2006. We would like to thank Nidhi Mirani and Kiran Gajwani who were the rapporteurs for the Harvard and Cornell technical dialogues, respectively. We would also like to acknowledge Pierella Paci who joined the technical dialogue at Cornell University in 2006. The Exposure Dialogues would not have been possible without the behind-the-scene support of administrative anchors iii at our respective institutions: Sue Snyder at Cornell University pulled together the compendia of notes and reflections after each Exposure Dialogue; Shanta Koshti, Sapna Raval, and Renuka Trivedi of the SEWA Academy assisted with logistics; Marais Canali, Mary Beth Graves, and Julia Martin of the WIEGO Secretariat at the Harvard Kennedy School administered the grants and, together with Justina Pena Pan of the WIEGO UK office, helped with international flight bookings and other logistics. Special thanks are due to our funders who prefer to remain anonymous but without whose support—both

This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/curej/116 For more information, please contact [email protected]. The Path to Women's Empowerment: Understanding the Rise of the Self Employed Women's Association Abstract Across the developing world, women in the informal economy, unprotected by government provisions and exploited by patriarchal structures, work relentlessly to earn a living for themselves and their families. Within these treacherous conditions, the Self Employed Women’s Association (SEWA) emerged and developed into a powerful force in India and beyond. The question naturally arises – what enabled SEWA to become such a successful social movement? While previous scholars have pointed to various specific characteristics – its leadership, flexibility, values, strategy, governance, or autonomous nature – they have not put forth a theoretical framework through which to understand its rise to prominence. Drawing on social movement theory, I have put forth a three-phase framework that allows us to theoretically understand SEWA’s emergence. The three phases – providing selective incentives, creating a common identity and shared purpose, and ensuring continuity – each depend on both organizational inputs and environmental factors.
