The Feminisation of Poverty

Poverty is gendered and calls for gendered solutions. In this podcast, we speak to Mercia Andrews of Trust for Community Outreach and Education. TCOE is a national organisation that operates mainly in the rural areas of South Africa. We also hear from Sarah Claasen, president of Sikhula Sonke, a women led trade union which operates as a social movement dealing with all livelihood challenges of farmwomen.
