Claire Slatter

• Feminist activist scholar
• Founding steering committee member of Development Alternatives with Women for a New Era (DAWN) and Coordinator (1997-2004)

Claire’s steely determination and intellectual power is accompanied by a warm humanity, giving an admired Pacific style to her feminist activism. She takes her feminism global, collaborating for over 25 years with other activist scholars of the South.

Claire focuses on trade and economic justice, providing analysis and advocacy in an often-marginalised area of women’s rights in the Pacific.

In Labouring Under the Law, published by FWRM in 1998, Claire and ‘Atu Emberson-Bain first documented the impact of Fiji’s archaic laws on women and their work, providing the basis for FWRM’s advocacy on the reform of Fiji’s labour laws, resulting in the Employment Relations Bill 2004.
