Summary
CLUSTER ONE: WOMEN'S MOVEMENT
STAGE
Emerging/re-emerging: Formation of new organisations; rehabilitation of older organisations towards new goals.
Growth: Expansion in numbers of organisations, activities.
Consolidation: Organisations have structure, endurance and regular support; institutionalised in community and government arenas.
Decline/abeyance: Decrease in organisations' members and activities over the period. Latent organisational activity primarily by individuals.
CLOSENESS TO LEFT
Very close: Feminist groups formally ally with or work with political parties and/or trade unions of the left. Ideas from the feminist movement are taken up by left-wing parties in party platforms. Feminists have internal power positions in the left-wing parties.
Close: Feminist groups formally ally with or work with political parties and/or trade unions of the left. They do not have internal power positions in the parties or unions and if the left takes up the ideas of feminist movements they do so without stating so and bring these ideas to fit the party line.
Not close: Feminist movement and the left are remote or hostile to each other.
PRIORITY OF ISSUE
High: Issue is one of the top priorities of the women's movement and serves to forge alliances among the various wings and tendencies.
Moderate: Not a uniting issue, but is a priority for some activists and organisations.
Low: Not a priority for any organisation, but mentioned by some. Not on the agenda. Not present at all on agendas of individuals and organisations in the movement.
COHESION
Cohesive: Movement organisations active on the issue agree on the frame and/or policy proposals.
