Evaluating the gender sensitivity of parliaments
Evaluating the gender sensitivity of parliaments
'This toolkit has been designed to improve the way that parliaments around the world advance gender equality and to be models to the communities they represent. The toolkit should help parliaments wishing to evaluate how gendersensitive they are, assess their current practices and policies, identify possible areas for reform, plan for change, and establish mechanisms to monitor progress. .The toolkit draws on IPU’s extensive experience in supporting national parliaments on gender-sensitive reform work. It proposes sets of questions to be tailored to each national context. They are designed to lead to open, constructive discussions. The intention is not to rank parliaments. It is rather to help them identify their strengths and weaknesses in order to determine priorities for strengthening the institution.'

Doubling digital opportunities enhancing the inclusion of women & girls in the information society
'This Report studies the role that ICTs and the Internet can play in advancing gender equality agendas, including equal access to new technologies by women and girls. It examines the central question of how access to the Internet and ICTs can help redress some of the inequalities women and girls face in their everyday lives, and whether inequalities in access to the Internet, and the types of content available online, are in fact reinforcing social attitudes towards women. Issues in fact extend far beyond basic access, including the availability of relevant content and the participation of women in public policy-making processes.'

Achieving women's economic and social rights
In 2005, the Association for Women's Rights in Development (AWID) asked over 50 activists working in diverse settings all over the world what strategies they found most useful in their efforts to improve economic and social rights for women, what were the greatest challenges they were encountering in their work, and if the economic, social and cultural rights framework actually fulfill its promise in presenting them with a new and more effective approach to their work. This report synthesises and analyses some important examples and lessons that emerged through this process.
