Fragile Unities: Confronting the Differences between Women

As mentioned above, the questions that I would like to raise are what have been the implications of not taking differences between women into account in South Africa? Is there a possibility for coalition work between women in South Africa? I take the case of the Women's National Coalition as it was an organisation that played a central role in the transition period for women in South Africa. Due to the nature of the organisation, the WNC contains the conflicts and social divisions within society. The campaign raised issues that I am raising here. Although I discuss the questions within the context of the WNC, the general debates and organisational questions are ones which can be applied more broadly.
