abstract: 'Despite decades of focus on gender and skills training, the Technical
and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) landscape in Sub-Saharan
Africa remains deeply gendered and rooted in wider structures of
patriarchal inequality and exploitation. Engaging with recent
theoretical moves toward gender-transformative and genderjust TVET
programming, this paper explores how a gradual revisioning of TVET can
be mobilised to challenge broader gender inequality and discrimination
in precarious settings. Bringing together insights from feminist
scholarship and the UN''s decent work agenda, which seeks to align fair
and secure working conditions with the aspirations of workers, we ask
what a gender-transformative future for TVET might look like where
labour rights, sustainable livelihoods and wellbeing are incorporated
from the ground up. Drawing on findings from Cameroon and Sierra Leone,
from the innovative `Gen-Up'' project which aims to investigate possible
gender-responsive TVET programmes and policies in collaboration with the
TVET provider, the Don Bosco network we ask what is both possible and
permissible in the fractious economic climate, where the focus on basic
survival and income generation inhibits a genuine challenge to
entrenched gender norms and stereotypes. For young women especially
whose aspirations are multiply damaged by persistent discriminatory
frameworks and who become further vulnerable at times of economic and
social crisis, we ask whether current TVET programming is helping them
escape the multiple forms of marginalisation they face. Even in cases
where women may be portrayed as successful entrepreneurs or achieving
sustainable livelihoods, the evidence suggests these individualistic
narratives are leaving many young women behind. In this context of
instability, precarity and increasing global and local socio-economic
and gender inequalities we argue that only holistic TVET programming
based on social and moral values and empowerment and proposing diverse
pathways to decent work, creating forms of solidarity, collaboration and
a contextualised enabling environment can act as both a lever for gender
transformation and also an engine for broader socio-economic change
fitting the `Decent Work'' vision and a constantly changing world of
work.'
