Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender bias, or "neutrality" in the underlying concepts, and tools of economics, has led to "invisibility" of women's economic, and non-economic work, thus, to an incomplete picture of total economic activity. This is predominantly so in Africa, where women articulated their concern regarding the social costs of adjustment, and the impact of adjustment on women. This drove to consolidating the adjustment experience with documented findings on the effects of structural adjustment, and to address the absence of attention to gender in up-stream macroeconomic analysis, and policy formulation, which are at the core of designing adjustment programs, and sectoral strategies. The note reviews the implications, or lack thereof, in considering gender as a distinguishing factor in the design of economic adjustment measures, whose analysis suggests that the improvement in the content of adjustment to include social dimensions, still has to go farther in incorporating gender concerns. In moving toward action in adjustment, it is critical that local, and international capacity be built to undertake relevant gender analysis, focusing among others, on the gender-exclusionary bias of economic, and financial services, such as agricultural research and extension, and enterprise credit. Moreover, public expenditure analysis could provide the basis for an integrated policy, where the inclusion of gender-focused projects in the expenditure program is recommended, as a means of removing constraints limiting women's response to improved policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book illuminates the complex and constantly shifting social and cultural dynamics that shape people's identity. Specifically, the volume focuses on the intersections of gender with, culture and identity, and at different historical epochs; on the way men and women define themselves and are defined by diverse peoples and cultures across time and space in sub-Saharan Africa. The discussions presented in this anthology primarily focus on 'being' as 'a state' or 'condition', defined by sex identity, and how this identity shifts, and hence 'becoming', assuming diverse meanings in disparate societies, contexts, and time. The discourse, therefore, moves from how the perception of the self in cultural and historical contexts has informed actions and at some other times shaped interpretations given to historical facts, to how changing economic realities also shape the definitions and constructions of social and relational issues in Sub-Saharan Africa. The historical trajectories of Islamic religion, colonialism and Christian missionary activities in sub-Saharan Africa have shaped the worlds of the peoples of the region and impacted on gender relations.

Download or read book Gender Poverty and Access to Justice written by David Lawson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Access to justice is a fundamental right guaranteed under a wide body of international, regional and domestic law. It is also an essential component of development policies which seek to adequately respond to the multidimensional deprivations faced by the poor in order to improve socio-economic well-being and advance the progress of the Sustainable Development Goals. Women and children make up most of Africa’s poorest and most marginalized population, and as such are often prevented from enforcing rights or seeking other recourse. This book explores and analyzes the issue of gendered access to justice, poverty and disempowerment across Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and provides policy discussions on the integration of gender in justice programming. Through individual country case studies, the book focuses on the challenges, obstacles and successes of developing and implementing gender focused access to justice policies and programming in the region. This multidisciplinary volume will be of interest to policy makers as well as scholars and researchers focusing on poverty and gender policy across law, economics and global development in Sub-Saharan Africa. Additionally, the volume provides policy discussion applicable in other geographical areas where access to justice is elusive for the poor and marginalized.
