Abstract

The chapter is based on a study of SEWA Kerala that encompasses the political struggles led by a group of women domestic workers. The chapter is contextualized within the larger socio-political ecosystem of Kerala, where SEWA movement has been collectivizing and organizing socially and economically disadvantaged women. The chapter makes a modest attempt to describe the ways in which solidarity emerges among the assembled individuals. The study keeps questioning issues such as the implication of domestic care work on women workers that limits their work and political participation, as well as the role of social divisions in constructing a feminist solidarity as a part of political process and making women as political subjects.
