Livelihood creation, resilence building

The pandemic restricted the mobility of the women hawkers and street vendors, pushing
them to the margins of society. As women employed in this trade rooted deeply in the
country’s social fabric, these women hawkers and street vendors are more
marginalized. The COVID-19 was a test for these women, who are now preparing
themselves for every form of disaster to preserve their lives and family members. They
are also making efforts for their social wellbeing and protecting their social and
economic rights. The Association collaborates with other women’s groups and
organizations to aid these vendors should be promoted for their development and
welfare.
