Global South Series: In conversation with Jyoti Mhapsekar

Can the insights and solutions to some of the issues in the Global South help Scotland to recover and rebuild differently in a post-pandemic era?

Jyoti Mhapsekar is one of the founding members of Street Mukti Sanghatana, an NGO that works in Mumbai in India and has been actively involved in the women’s movement since 1975. Through her work, Jyoti has highlighted the connection between recycling work done by waste pickers and climate change in various national and international forums, which includes United Nations conventions at Bonn and Copenhagen in 2009.

Martin Johnstone (WEvolution) joins Jyoti in this online conversation as part of the Global South Series.
