The presentation will focus on efforts by the Ghana Trades Union Congress a major labour federation in Ghana, to address its gender democratic deficit. It will dwell on findings from annual reports and interviews with female union leaders and heads of some union gender organs to assess the impact of gender democracy strategies on women’s union participation and representation. It will outline limits and strengths of union strategies and note avenues provided for women to access trade union leadership positions and the forms of political activism generated as a result.
