The Women Workers for Change (WW4C) programme began in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through worker-led workshops and peer-education sessions, we create enthusiasm and safe spaces for political education and critical literacy, recognising lived experience as knowledge.
Through this, WW4C seeks to build power amongst low-waged women workers by supporting their political education and feminist agendas for change.
The programme focuses on three key strategies: Educate, Agitate, and Organise. It centres on the lived experiences of women workers, operating on the belief that individual experiential knowledge, when analysed in a peer context, yields new insights. Consequently, we support groups of women workers to develop learning materials and to document and name the connection between their individual experiences of abuse and systemic injustice. We strengthen solidarity among groups of women working in different informal sectors so they can raise their collective voice against injustice and unfair practices.
