The proportion of female workers in semi-skilled and unskilled jobs has increased. There has also been some progress in relation to reform of gender discriminatory laws, and increased awareness of gender and women’s rights issues among sections of the population. This book emphasises that many more needs to be done focusing women’s needs and issues. Blurb Source:- Extracted from the publication’s ‘Executive Summary’
