Re-shaping the future: protecting women's rights

Covid-19 has thrown the gendered division of work into sharp relief and highlighted once again the inequalities women experience and the inter-sectional dimension of these. This conference will be an opportunity to discuss issues of key concern to women at present, such as balancing work and caring responsibilities, workload, casualisation, Black Lives Matter and maternity rights. It was discussed how we can protect women's rights for the future and what action we can take both locally and nationally.
