They also came to be inserted into transnational agencies like the International Alliance of Women (IAW), the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and UNESCO. International development theorists like Amartya Sen too returned to the analysis of asymmetrically organized division of labour and persistent inequalities in productive households in Asia and Africa, to spotlight women’s well-being and survival, and sought new ways to theorize the everyday conflicts of interest between men and women within family-based gendered work, towards a global vision for women and crafts.
