Abstract

In a context of crisis of social reproduction, impoverishment and growing inequalities, arising from the neo-liberal and financialized capitalist system, solidarity economy initiatives are emerging and bubbling, at different levels. They act for change and constitute avenues of resistance to capitalism and its consequences. This book presents reflections and practices in the field of the solidarity economy that favors the search for solidarity between producers and consumers, taking into account their territories and environment. Solidarity practices aim to articulate democracy, sustainability and the economy. They shed light on different ways of doing the economy, building of innovative social relations and doing politics. This chapter presents dynamic solidarity economy initiatives by SEWA Kerala. The movement concerns marginalized women in organizations carrying out care work for the urban middle class communities. The book as a whole offers a transversal analysis of case studies on how the integration of a feminist approach to solidarity economy practices contributes to the renewal of action and public policies for the reproduction and maintenance of life. The research was carried out in India, Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia and Brazil in association with the Graduate Institute Geneva and SNIS.
