International Women's Day was born out of labour and resistance movements of the 20th century. But life in the 21st century continues to be riddled with structural violence and inequalities of income, entitlements, and care at homes and in workplaces.
This Women's Day, we revisit our faculty's work on women's labour and lifeworlds.
