This was one of the major outcomes of the Union\u2019s recently concluded inaugural Women\u2019s Conference, which was held under the theme: \u201cBridging the Gaps\u201d- Recognizing Mental Health &amp; Equal Opportunities in the Workplace\u201d<br>Among the resolutions being developed is one to establish an Annual Women\u2019s Conference, which will foster a supportive and proactive community dedicated to addressing and advocating for women&#8217;s issues. Another resolution will be developed to advocate for the integration of comprehensive mental health support into the framework of employee rights and workplace well- being. Other resolutions will focus on combating gender discrimination in the workplace, advocating for comprehensive maternity leave legislation, as well as legislation supporting women\u2019s health needs related to menopause and menstruation.<br>ABWU Training Officer, Hazel Luke, described the ABWU Women\u2019s Conference as a resounding success. \u201cWhat we were able to achieve is remarkable! The presentations helped women to recognise and reflect on the many inequalities and barriers that impact them throughout their careers.\u201d Luke shared. \u201cHowever, this was much more than a talk shop. We were able to initiate concrete actions in the form of these draft resolutions which, once adopted by the 57th Delegates Conference, will ensure that women\u2019s issues are a priority on the Union\u2019s agenda.\u201d<br>Conference speakers included the Union\u2019s first female president, Malaka Parker. In delivering a passionate charge to participants, Parker elevated the significance of the gathering. \u201c<br>doing here today, my sisters, is nation building, because every data known to man says when women do better, nations do better\u2026This is not a matter of opinion, this is data in any country,<br>What you are<br>anywhere in the world!&#8221;<br>UNI Global Head of Equal Opportunities, Veronica Hernandez-Mendez, told the participants that \u201calthough menstruation, maternity and menopause [the 3M\u2019s] were all natural biological processes, they remain taboo subjects in many cultures and workplaces.\u201d She said trade unionists have a vital role to play by ensuring that the 3M\u2019s are included in workplace health and safety<br>policies in order to reduce discrimination and inequality experienced by women workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another highlight of the conference was a presentation by Clinical Psychologist, Dr Keisha Ross, which examined the impact of historical and intergenerational trauma on mental health. Part of the presentation explored the theory of Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome which seeks to offer an explanation for conditions that exist within African American Communities. Ross\u2019s presentation also highlighted that women of color suffered disproportionately from disorders such as stress and anxiety. She encouraged participants to deepen their understanding of historical trauma and to explore various ways to heal, such as mindfulness, which was demonstrated in an exercise to which<br>participants responded positively.<br>Several women were eager to share their feedback on the Conference. \u201cWe need to teach our young women that they have a voice\u2026they are no longer a silent face on the wall,\u201d one woman asserted. \u201cAs women, we should create that type of womanhood, sisterhood network, because the men do it,\u201d another woman remarked. The Conference ended on a positive note with participants<br>anticipating next year\u2019s event where they will examine the progress made on the issues raised.<br>The inaugural ABWU Women\u2019s Conference attracted almost 100 women, hailing from multiple sectors across the Union\u2019s membership. The Conference forms part of the ABWU\u2019s commitment to build capacity within its membership, as well as increase its sensitivity to the needs of its<br>members.<\/p><div id=\"antig-3442359351\" class=\"antig-content_4 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/discoverflow.co\/web\/antigua\" aria-label=\"ANU CVP Digital Broadband 1200x400_1\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1201\/h:401\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ANU-CVP-Digital-Broadband-1200x400_1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1201\/h:401\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ANU-CVP-Digital-Broadband-1200x400_1-1.jpg 1201w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:100\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ANU-CVP-Digital-Broadband-1200x400_1-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:342\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ANU-CVP-Digital-Broadband-1200x400_1-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:256\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ANU-CVP-Digital-Broadband-1200x400_1-1.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1201\" height=\"401\"   \/><\/a><\/div><div id=\"antig-1782992439\" class=\"antig-content_12 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ablpag\" aria-label=\"Full-ABLP-Team-Digital-Billboard-1920x1080px\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1920\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Full-ABLP-Team-Digital-Billboard-1920x1080px.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1920\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Full-ABLP-Team-Digital-Billboard-1920x1080px.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:169\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Full-ABLP-Team-Digital-Billboard-1920x1080px.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:576\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Full-ABLP-Team-Digital-Billboard-1920x1080px.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:432\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Full-ABLP-Team-Digital-Billboard-1920x1080px.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1536\/h:864\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Full-ABLP-Team-Digital-Billboard-1920x1080px.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div id=\"antig-2179076\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Women\u2019s Issues to be Advanced at ABWU\u2019s 57th Annual Delegates Conference.
