Ekta Kamgar Welfare Association

You can find us at Room No. 13 in the Wismila Building, C Wing, on the second floor. We are located in Ahmed Jakria Nagar. This place is not a shop or a factory. It is more of a spot where people from the local workforce come when they have some issues or just need to talk things through. We have been operating out of this room for quite a while now. The building is a bit old and the stairs can be steep if you are carrying things, but it works for what we need to do. People come by to discuss work problems, talk about their rights, or just help each other out with difficult paperwork. It is mostly a volunteer kind of thing for us. We are not professionals in suits; we are just workers ourselves who wanted to have a dedicated spot where we could all meet up. Ahmed Jakria Nagar is a busy neighborhood with a lot of regular people just trying to get by. We try to keep the room open as much as we can, though sometimes we are all out working our regular day jobs. There is usually tea and a lot of talking going on whenever we have a meeting. It is about sticking together as laborers and helping the community. It is not fancy at all, just some plastic chairs and a lot of files, but it is important to us.
