Abstract: Mumbai, like Marozia is a city where for many the living conditions are like those described by Calvino for rats but who hope to fly like swallows. It’s a city where many come to eke out a livelihood, increasingly difficult in rural areas. And it’s from these communities that women organized to form what came to be called the Right to Pee campaign. Drawing upon networks and strategies of the long history of women’s movements in Mumbai, this struggle gives us a glimpse of another city desired by the poor citizens without whom the city would no longer hum.
