Imagining the end of Capitalism

Abstract

Engages with how inequality in South Africa will never be addressed under neo-liberal capitalism. Engages with structural inequalities and women's labour, including women-dominated occupations such as domestic work, excluded from labour law protection and minimum wage legislation. Engages education, privilege and using our power to create a better world for the most marginalised women and girls.
