Keywords

Overview

There is currently much public debate about ‘men in crisis’, ‘troubled masculinities’, and ‘men at risk’.

There are power dynamics between different […]

Not a sufficient condition: the limited relevance of the gender MDG to women’s progress

Keywords

Despite recent awareness of the need to ‘mainstream’ gender perspectives into public policy, and in responses to economic inequity and growing poverty, practice often seems to continue to place gender equity as a secondary goal.

Sympathetic advocates: male parliamentarians sharing responsibility for gender equality

Keywords

Overview

Gender mainstreaming, as a strategy that aims to achieve gender equality across institutions, does not work without the assistance of men. There has been a strategic shift in emphasis over the past decade from women’s issues to those concerning gender equality. Underpinning this shift is a change in focus from women exclusively, to one on […]
