Abstract:

As we saw in Section 1, The Self Employed Women's Association (SEWA) has been a key player in the history of immersions. It has been hosting EDPs for the staff of other organisations since 1991, but in 1998 started organising them for its own internal purposes as well. SEWA regards EDPs as a reality check - a way of keeping the movement rooted in the lives of its women members, and of monitoring the impact of its work by assessing changes in those women's lives.
