Let the spring flowers blossom: The rise of Arab trade union women leaders

March 26, 2013

They continue to live with the realities of ongoing wars and revolutions, discrimination and abuse, but Arab women are finding ways to organise for a better future through sisterhood and trade union solidarity across borders.

Through an initiative sponsored by the Swedish trade union development organisation LO/TCO, 33 women participated in Public Services International’s Middle East and North Africa regional women’s leadership conference in Tunis, 23-24 March 2013.

Union activists from Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Kuwait, Palestine, Canada, Belgium and Sweden shared experiences and brainstormed on ways to advance women’s equality in their workplaces and respective countries.
