Book Description: Oxfam Publishing, United Kingdom, 2008. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 216 x 138 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. For many organisations, campaigning is a new type of activity and few have had the opportunity to help each other build capacity to campaign. This book draws on Oxfam International's experience in supporting national labour-rights campaigning initiatives at local and national level. The authors describe and analyse what happened in five campaigns in Colombia, Morocco, Nicaragua, Sri Lanka, and the United States. All faced enormous obstacles, and all were able to overcome them through innovation, new ways of working in alliance, and patient persistence towards their target. This book will be of interest to all campaigning individuals and organisations, not just those working on labour rights. The analysis includes learning points and examples of good practice. The book offers a menu of approaches and activities and readers can choose those which are appropriate and useful to their situation. A practical and up-to-date resources section helps the reader explore the issues further. Bookseller Inventory # AAR9780855985745

Book Description: Oxfam Publishing. Paperback. Book Condition: new. BRAND NEW, Building National Campaigns: Activists, Alliances, and How Change Happens, David Dalton, Women workers are an increasing part of the global labour force that is at work but trapped in poverty. Poor quality employment drives inequality, and threatens sustainable development and gender equality. Womens organisations and trade unions have developed many strategies to try to improve the conditions of women workers and respect for women. These include worker education and awareness raising, protests against abuses, research, international solidarity, and worker organising. High-profile campaigning has become an important strategy for making change. Yet in many contexts, it is unclear to organisations how to build their capacity to do campaigning.Using case studies from five campaigns in America, Colombia, Morocco, Nicaragua, and Sri Lanka, this book describes Oxfam International's experience in supporting existing national initiatives with global research on the relationship between trade, employment, development, and gender equality. The authors describe and analyse what happened, and how it happened, in the five case-study countries. All faced enormous obstacles, and were able to overcome them through innovation, new ways of working in alliance, and patient persistence towards an end goal. The information in this book will be interesting and helpful, not just to campaigners on women's labour rights, but to those campaigning on other issues, who could also usefully adopt the learning points and examples of good practice. This book does not contain a recipe for instant campaigning success; what is offered here is a menu, from which the reader can pick whatever seems appropriate and useful.
