"Standing with the female employees trying to get their occupational diseases recognised are female trade union officials striving to convince their organisations of the need for a gender-based approach to risk prevention. These employees can also count on female doctors who know how to listen to them. This may be the expression of what feminism calls “sisterhood”, a concept invented by the anthropologist Marcela Lagarde to define the mutual support networks between women."
