Using gender-analysis frameworks: theoretical and practical reflections

Keywords

Overview

While gender research methodologies, such as gender-analysis frameworks, can contribute to ensuring that development practice promotes gender equality, their use is only one element in the process, and cannot alone ensure that gender considerations are integrated into development practice. Their use needs to be combined with, and based on, clear political and theoretical underpinnings and […]

Mainstreaming gender in the WASH sector: dilution or distillation?

Keywords

Overview

The way women’s issues have been conceptualised and acted on in the context of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) has changed over the past four decades. The discourses and trends in development studies – from the Women in Development approach of the 1970s to Gender and Development in the 1980s – were mirrored in the […]

Talking of gender: words and meanings in development organisations

Keywords

Overview

This article reflects on the vocabulary commonly used within development organisations to communicate about ‘gender and development’. It argues that the relevant terminology, though frequently used, remains problematic. Some terms are almost entirely absent, while others are used loosely and inappropriately – with the subtleties of carefully developed and much-debated concepts often lost. Terms such […]

Gender, security, and governance: the case of Sustainable Development Goal 16

Keywords

Overview

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development includes among its 17 key objectives the goal of creating peaceful societies based on inclusive and effective governance. However, none of the targets included under this ‘peace and governance’ goal (Goal 16) call for specific measures to ensure women’s equal participation in governance institutions and peace processes. This article […]

Gender mainstreaming since Beijing: a review of success and limitations in international institutions

Keywords

Overview

The Beijing Platform for Action prioritised gender mainstreaming as the mechanism to achieve gender equality. A decade later, policy makers and practitioners are debating whether this has succeeded or failed. This article aims to contribute to this debate by reviewing progress made to date, through a review of gender mainstreaming policies in international development institutions. […]

Constructing ‘modern gendered civilised’ women and men: gender-mainstreaming in refugee camps

Keywords

Overview

Gender mainstreaming in humanitarian programmes with forced migrants is based on a belief that such an approach will lead to greater gender equality, while raising the status of women through their ’empowerment’. In this article, I focus on the activities of international and local humanitarian organisations in Kakuma refugee camp, Kenya. I argue that the […]

The elephant in the room and the dragons at the gate: strategising for gender equality in the 21st century

Keywords

Overview

The ominous vision of elephants and dragons in the title of this article represents the perplexing equation of progress and backlash that characterises work on gender equality and women’s rights. This article advocates a move away from the ongoing debates about gender mainstreaming, towards re-framing strategies for ending gender discrimination. Synthesising the analysis and priorities […]

Gender, the Doha development agenda, and the post-Cancun trade negotiations

Keywords

Overview

The intensification of trade liberalisation has increasingly led women’s organisations and other civil society groups to pay close attention to the impact of trade liberalisation on economic and social development. At the last Ministerial meeting of the WTO in Cancun, gender and trade advocates developed empirical and policy-oriented positions on the WTO trade agenda. Though […]

Gender, participation, and post-conflict planning in Northern Sri Lanka

Keywords

Overview

The ‘mainstreaming’ of gender issues throughout all aspects of peace and reconstruction processes has been widely advocated for at least a decade. However, women are often absent from peace processes, and most post-conflict planning for reconstruction continues to ignore, or inadequately account for, gender issues. Hence, gender inequalities go unchallenged. This article examines two key […]
