Historically, women workers hold a marginal position in discussions on workers’ rights. Instead, such rights have been developed with male, full-time and regular employment as the model. For a feminist analysis a central question is how these measures impact the conditions for women workers also performing informal, home and casual work (Singh & Sammit, 2004). Also, are women being represented in the forums articulating workers’ rights – in trade unions, governments, international
organizations and corporations?
