From 2001 to 2005, the CSN initiated a project in Congo aimed at helping women workers, which added 20,000 female members to the UNTC, the national union of Congolese workers (Union nationale des travailleurs du Congo).
Alternatives began its involvement in the project in 2007, aiming to increase female membership amongst those in the informal economy as a way of better informing them of their rights as a worker and ensuring the protection of said rights.
What’s more, for the first time since the establishment of the UNTC in 1967, two women have been elected as vice-presidents and five women now sit on its executive committee.
