Andolan
Andolan (Organizing South Asian Workers) is a not-for-profit, membership-based group that organizes and advocates on behalf of low-wage, immigrant South Asian workers. Andolan was founded in 1998 by low-income South Asian workers. These workers are primarily domestic service workers as well as workers in restaurants and retail stores, from Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, Nepal and Sri Lanka. Thousands of such workers enter the United States yearly to work for diplomats and private citizens who reside in the New York City area. The types of jobs done by low-wage South Asian workers often entail long hours and low pay without benefits. Exploitation and marginalization are common. Other problems faced by this group include sexual harassment on the job, domestic violence in their isolated familial lives, and immigration irregularities.
