Women Work & Health
Initiative (WWHI) -
NGO Delhi India
Women
Work & Health Initiative (WWHI) is a unique forum that has emerged from
the IV International Congress on Women Work & Health held in November
2005.
It
seeks to adopt a multi disciplinary empirical approach to issues of
Occupational Safety and Health and promote a better work life balance
between women’s work and home life.
This forum will also seek to initiate a radical rethink of perspectives
fashioned by patriarchal cultures, by mainstreaming gender as a central
policy.
