Abstract
This work explores the intersection of gender and popular education in South Africa. It focuses on how gender subordination is experienced by women and the various educational strategies being developed to challenge these systems. Through workshops and discussions, the text highlights the struggles and transformations within South African communities, particularly those within trade unions and organizations. The work analyzes gender relations, social power, and the influence of both subjective experiences and institutional structures. The impact of gendered power dynamics in education and how they can be challenged by both men and women in their educational practices is central to the text.
