The letter was brief, final, cold and brutal. “Your post as Manpower, Development Manager has been abolished with immediate effect. In a single stroke of a pen, a career was erased, a professional identity dismissed and life was expected to move on - silently. But Laeticia did not accept silence. She knew that what looked like bureaucratic redundancy was in fact institutional patriarchy disguised as economics.

Barua hiyo ilikuwa fupi, kavu na ya kikatili. “Nafasi yako kama Meneja wa Rasilimali Watu, Maendeleo na Utawala imefutwa kuanzia sasa hivi. Kwa mpigo mmoja tu wa kalamu, kazi ilifutwa, utambulisho wa kitaaluma ukapuuzwa na maisha yalitarajiwa kuendelea kama kawaida. Lakini Laeticia hakukubali.

What happens when the head of a prominent African financial institution publicly brands his own Chief Gender Specialist a “troublemaker” and a “feminist” and then accuses her of “pushing a feminist agenda, not a gender agenda”?

Post Abolished is a powerful true story of courage, workplace injustice and the fight for dignity against institutional power. More than a memoir, it is a valuable tool for understanding labour rights, leadership,
ethics and gender equality in today’s world of work. The Second Edition revisits the story nearly forty years later to examine major changes in Tanzania’s labour laws and what they mean for a new generation. Bold, thought-provoking and deeply relevant, the book speaks to workers, students, leaders and changemakers alike.
