Labour Pains

This book has been titled Labour Pains to reflect the intensity of the struggle for gender equality in the trade union movement and society. Produced by the National Labour and Economic Development Institute (NALEDI), the book acknowledges that while progress has been made on the development of policy for gendered change, it argues that little has been achieved in practice in terms of translating commitments into meaningful reality for working class women. In addition, it argues that that challenging unequal power between men and women in the unions and society does not happen simply through resolutions, policies and setting up structures; it happens through action and activism.
