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.
