Stakeholder
Forum Briefing Paper on Gender (PDF)
(RTF):
The need for gender equity cuts across all aspects of Sustainable
Development. This paper depicts some of the on-going blocks to gender equity
at global and regional levels. Touching on a vast array of issues: human
rights and security; poverty;
access to and management of resources; trade and finance; development;
and health, it
outlines some means to tackle these problems and proposes some key questions
which need to be addressed by the Johannesburg Summit. A central theme to
improving gender equity is the need to inspire and build a culture of
partnership. Partnership not only between men and women but also between
civil society and institutions, and between the local to global levels of
policy making for sustainable development. |
