Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
In the last few years, several studies have been conducted to review the conditions of Waste pickers in many countries of the world as well as in India. In Latin American countries like Brazil, Colombia and Argentina Waste pickers'/workers' cooperatives are formed. Cooperatives also exist in countries like Egypt, Philippines, Indonesia and in parts of Africa as well. There are global alliances like, Latin American Association of Waste Pickers, National Alliance of Waste Pickers, GAIA (Global alliance against Incinerators) and WIEGO (Women in Informal Employment - Globalizing and Organizing). In India also many groups/organizations are formed for Waste pickers like Kagad ,Kach, Patra Kashtakari Panchayat from Pune; Janseva from Latur; ACRON Foundation India; Chintan Environmental Research & Action Group; Karunya Trust; SWACHH Campaign, to mention a few. The current paper attempts to present one such effort of organizing women Waste pickers from Mumbai by non-voluntary organization Stree Mukti Sanghatana. The current paper also attempts to present the journey of leadership development among women Waste pickers through five representative cases.
