From September 23-24, the HUM SAB EK (We Are One) exhibition (learn more) was showcased at the Clinton Global Initiative 2024 Annual Meeting in New York City. This marks the onset of the next phase, Jatra—a traveling exhibition that catalyzes a series of dialogues, first in the U.S. and then in other regions.

Timed to coincide with the U.N. General Assembly, the Clinton Global Initiative brought together business, government, and civil society leaders to drive progress on climate resilience, inclusive economic growth and recovery, health and gender equity, and humanitarian response efforts to crises around the globe. With this year’s theme being ‘What’s Working,’ HUM SAB EK (We Are One) served as a compelling case study on the response strategies deployed by the Self Employed Women’s Association (SEWA) during the pandemic.
