Event Details :‘Women at Work’: A series of conversations with women workers, conceived and conducted by Albeena Shakil. This month, Albeena will speak with Naseem Begum, a home-based piece rate worker. Born in 1960 in the walled city of Delhi, her father was a lock mechanic in Oberoi Hotel. She got married in 1978 and within a month of marriage, her husband threw her down from the second floor ofhis house over dowry. Pregnant and terrified, Naseem returned to her natal homeand remained bed ridden for several months. Naseem started doing handicraft work from her home in 1978, specializing in making export quality jewelry. She has been working for over 10-12 hours a day, never earning more than Rs. 25 perday. Since 2008, when the international economic crisis started, the availability of work for Naseem and many others like her has reduced drastically in Old Delhi. Naseem is among the estimated over 8 crore such unrecognized women workers of India who engage in artisanal to more modern varieties of underpaid home based work.
