  Sunday, May 9, 2004

27. Nutritional deficiency and womens health
  Sunday, May 9, 2004  
  Most nutrition interventions in developing countries have been designed primarily to reduce malnutrition among children. Even programmes which include women tend to focus on pregnant and lactating women. This approach limits the success of interventions since action to improve nutrition-related reproductive outcomes is most effectively implemented before women become pregnant, and preferably should be undertaken before girls reach reproductive age.

29. Organizing Women in the Informal Sector - The SEWU Experience
  Sunday, May 9, 2004  
  This report is based In recent years a feminization of the labor force has taken place in South Africa. Women predominate in low-wage, less secure jobs and in the informal sector. Even in the informal sector they are crowded in the low-income, low-skilled jobs. This has a number of reasons: women tend to have problems in access to credit and educational facilities, women have an inferior legal status, and women tend to take greater responsibility for raising children. Women tend to work in the invisible sectors of the economy; that is casual work, piecework, seasonal work, home-based work.
