Abstract

The story of the UKJCW is a story about the women’s movement and its intersection with organised civil society; although to talk of “the women’s movement” is perhaps misleading, as it is the differentiation between the feminist activism and gender equality governance in the four nations that is particularly striking and that characterises the UKJCW. The journey to establish and then maintain a four nations representation has not been straightforward. Far from it. When we asked those involved what word they would use to describe the journey of the UKJCW, responses included “bumpy”, “wobbly” and “troubled” to “iterative” and “complex”. This text provides an explanation for the provenance of these adjectives as it sets out the contestation that beset, in particular, the early days of four nations working.
