vs. the Tyranny of the Market
SATURDAY
9-5pm
Session 1:
Reproducing the human race – valuing mothers and all carers
Session 2:
Caring under austerity, climate change, occupation and war |
SUNDAY
9-5pm
Session 3:
Women’s justice work against sexism, racism and every discrimination
Session 4:
A living wage for caring and the struggle for pay equity |
We will be reclaiming
the indispensable contribution of mothers and all carers to reproducing the
human race, as well as the justice work women do to defend ourselves and loved
ones from every violence and discrimination. What are the obstacles to caring,
and how can the petition for a Living
Wage for Mothers and other Carers be an effective tool for building the
movement internationally – to prioritise survival and pay equity?
The
conference will be opened by Selma James (Sex,
Race and Class – the Perspective of Winning). Details of the
content and the speakers will be circulated nearer to the time. We are
hoping that our network in Canada, Greece, Haiti, India, Ireland, Italy,
Nigeria, Norway, Pakistan, Peru, Spain, Tanzania, Turkey, US, Venezuela and
elsewhere will be able to attend.
Venue:
To be confirmed
Access:
full wheelchair access ● please book in advance for childcare
We
look forward to hearing from you. Please let us know if you are planning to
attend. If you coming from abroad, we will be glad to help with
visas.
Invest
in caring not killing.
