As the first woman to ride a scooter in a traditional weaving village in Rajasthan, India, Seema navigates classrooms, community meetings, and home visits to help protect children and expand access to education. Seema’s quiet act of empowerment confronts generations of gender barriers, transforming her marriage, identity, and community.

“Weaving Hope,” directed by @tajurushido in collaboration with @goodweave_intl, shines a light on an inspirational woman changing what the next generation of girls believes is possible, one scooter ride at a time.

On Monday, October 5, GoodWeave co-organized “Solving Global Child Labor with Compassion” at American University’s School of International Service in Washington, D.C., featuring our founder and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Kailash Satyarthi.

The event brought together more than 100 attendees for a keynote address by Kailash, who then joined our CEO Jon Jacoby and Tim Ryan, chairman of Global March Against Child Labour, for a panel discussion moderated by Judy Gearhart of American University Accountability Research Center.

The discussion highlighted progress in reducing child labor worldwide and the need to accelerate efforts to end it. Kailash emphasized the knowledge, resources, and legal frameworks are already in place, calling for greater urgency and moral responsibility.

The event was co-sponsored by American University’s School of International Service, the National Consumers League, the Child Labor Coalition, and the Satyarthi Movement for Global Compassion.
