- Description
- What was the role of women’s networks in shaping ILO policies and what were the gendered meanings of international labour law in a world of uneven and unequal development? This book explores issues like equal remuneration, home-based labour, CSW and social welfare internationally. It scrutinizes the impact of both power relations and global feminisms on the making of global labour policies in a world shaped by colonialism, the Cold War and post-colonial inequality. It charts the disparate advancement of gender equity, highlighting the significant role of women experts and activists in the process.
