A session at the 2005 Delhi Congress on Women, Work and Health was entitled "Social movements and research on women, work and health: How can researchers and community members work together on current problems?" and described researcher-worker collaboration to gain recognition for the constraints and requirements of women's jobs. Suffering in the workplace may appear to come primarily from such visible aggressors as toxins and heavy weights, but its ultimate cause is the powerlessness, isolation, and denigration that sap workers' ability to fight back. Participatory research projects described here have promoted solidarity and encouraged the transformation of working conditions.
2005年德里妇女、工作与健康大会上的一场会议题为“社会运动以及关于妇女、工作与健康的研究：研究人员与社区成员如何就当前问题开展合作？”，该会议描述了研究人员与工人的合作，以让人们认识到女性工作的限制和要求。职场中的痛苦看似主要源于毒素和重物等明显的侵害因素，但其根本原因是削弱工人反击能力的无力感、孤立感和诋毁。此处描述的参与式研究项目促进了团结，并鼓励了工作条件的转变。
