- Description
- 'In this report, authors present an overview of the information provided to workers in the project countries .and the extent to which they make use of it. The first way in which women can get answers to their questions is by visiting the information that is provided on the websites, as over 6 million people from these 12 countries did in the last year. Authors firstly describe the information that is provided for free through the WageIndicator websites. Then authors analyse the relative frequency at which the different topics are being consulted by web visitors, by studying the 11 million page views that the websites got between May 2014 and May 2015. .The second way that workers can address the Labour Rights for Women project for answers is through direct contact with the local teams. In the second part of this report, authors relate the experiences of local team members, who answer questions sent via email or posed in meetings and work place visits. Together, these two analyses provide a picture of the issues that women workers in the twelve countries deal with and the problems they attempt to solve.'

- Description
- 'Authors examine the extent to which Collective Bargaining Agreements contributes to the empowerment of women in work. 186 Collective bargaining agreements are compared in Guatemala, Indonesia, Kenya, Mozambique, Peru, South Africa, Tanzania and Uganda in terms of pay, working hours and work-family clauses. Almost all agreements have clauses regarding wages, but only 26 out of 186 have detailed pay scales showing what workers in different occupations should earn. .Up to 84% contain clauses on standard working hours, schedules and holidays. Just over six in ten agreements .guarantee paid maternity leave and offer job security after maternity leave. .On average, the agreements offer better working conditions than the legal requirements in every country. .Only one of the collective agreements has set working hours that are longer than the legal standard, .four in ten agreements copy the legal standard exactly, whereas nearly six in ten offer shorter hours. Two .agreements offer shorter annual leaves than the statutory entitlement, three in ten agreements follow the law .and all others offer longer leaves. However, the collective agreements do not always offer more maternity .leave than the law. While three in four agreements copy the law, 17% offer less than the legal standard. In .Mozambique, South Africa and Uganda, collective agreements sometimes offer only the compulsory leave, .meaning the duration of weeks that it is legally forbidden for the mother to work, rather than the standard .provisions for paid maternity leave.'

- Description
- A key mechanism of apartheid in South Africa was the set of restrictions placed on the movements of Africans: in particular, African women were subject to lives of daily surveillance and highly regulated housing, employment and mobility. Lee explores the lives and testimonies of three generations of African women in Cape Town during the apartheid (1948-94) and post-apartheid periods. Through life histories Lee considers how African women differently experienced apartheid, offering an account of their attempts to locate 'home' in the urban setting. The various strategies of settlement African women crafted over five decades provide a compelling portrait of adaptation, resilience and change.

- Description
- Labour in South Africa is characterised by systematic discrimination against black people, women and disabled persons. To redress these past imbalances affirmative action has been used in the workplace, education and gender equality. Mainly African women and disabled persons are the beneficiaries of this action. Author explores the strategy affirmative action in South Africa harnessed to make past wrongs and its effectiveness in so doing even. Author also looks how committed those implementing affirmative action respond with regard to women.
