Gender in the transition to sustainable energy for all
Synthesis report of the results by the ENERGIA Gender and Energy Research Programme, as part of its contribution to the sustainable development goals (SDGs). The 2014-2019 study explores gender, energy and poverty linkages in twelve countries in six thematic areas, including productive uses of energy, the political economy of energy sector policies and women’s energy entrepreneurship. Results show that energy policies that do not explicitly target women, often result in inequal access to energy services between men and women. Achieving gender equality outcomes requires a change in energy policy as well as in processes and organisations that drive these processes.- Creator

Families in an changing world
This book assesses the scale and scope of transformations in family life and their implications for gender equality and women’s empowerment. The world as well as families, and the role of women and girls within them, are changing. The report approaches families as institutions where both cooperation (solidarity and love) and conflict (inequality and violence) coexist. It explains how unequal outcomes within families are influenced by family members’ unequal power to negotiate. It also highlights the contribution of social support systems, such as women’s rights organizations, and progressive social norms. The report provides policy recommendations in order to support families and meet the needs of their members.- Creator

JRC statistical audit of the Equal Measures 2030 SDG
The Equal Measures 2030 (EM2030) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Gender Index, launched as a pilot version with six countries in 2018, is a tool that gender advocates can use to frame their influencing on the gender equality elements of the SDGs. The 2019 version is the first global version including data of 129 countries. This audit delves into data quality issues, the conceptual and statistical coherence of the framework and the impact of modelling assumptions on the results to ensure the transparency and reliability of the Gender Index. .The conceptual framework of the index covers 14 out of the 17 SDGs, with focus on the gender aspect: poverty, no hunger, health, education, gender equality, water and sanitation, energy, work, industry, innovation and infrastructure, inequality, sustainability, climate, peace and justice, partnerships.- Creator

Harnessing the power of data for gender equality
Harnessing the power of data for gender equality
Presentation of the 2019 Equal Measures 2030 SDG Gender Index, a tool available to explore the state of gender equality across129 countries. The Gender Index includes 51 indicators across 14 of the 17 official Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The indicators are both gender-specific and gender-nonspecific, which have a disproportionate effect on girls and women. The results of the index show that, with just .11 years to go until 2030, nearly 40 percent of the world’s girls and women – 1.4 billion – live in countries .failing on gender equality. Overall the index finds that the world is furthest behind on gender equality issues related to public finance and better gender data (SDG 17), climate change (SDG 13), gender equality in industry and innovation (SDG 9), and the standalone gender equality goal (SDG 5). -

Gender and food
The author compiled existing theoretical and empirical research on food, gender, and intersectionality in the Global North and especially in the United States to offer a framework from which to understand how gender is central to food systems. Reseach reveals gendered patterns in the division of labour and power in production (growing), distribution (shopping), preparing (cooking) to the consumption (eating) of food. The public (market) and private (home) aspects of each phase are explored together, processes that are often researched and written about separately but are closely connected.- Creator

Towards a global femicide index
This book considers the need for and the steps to be taken towards creating a meaningful framework for a global index of women’s deaths from intimate partner violence. While there are global indices for deaths that relate to public violence, such as terrorism, there is no systematic global count of killings of women by their intimate partners. It considers the possibilities and challenges that arise in counting intimate femicide.- Creator

How business can build a ‘Future of work’ that works for women
This report examines how companies can build future of work strategies that work for women. The analysis highlights several forces that are changing the nature of work, such as the transformation of sectors and roles due to automation and artificial intelligence (AI), the demand for digital skills, and the emergence of new work models. It looks at how these trends may impact working women and intersect with existing systemic barriers to women’s economic empowerment. . .The report is not an exhaustive analysis of potential business outcomes presented by the future of work trends or the ways in which women will be impacted by future of work trends. Rather, it should serve as an inspirational guide to help companies envision the types of actions that are possible to ensure that women can gain quality employment opportunities as a result of these disruptions.- Creator

State of the world fathers 2019
The third report 'State of the world's fathers' focuses on fathers to achieve gender equality in unpaid care work around the world. With a call for action 'The MenCare Commitment': to reach 50 percent of the unpaid care work, men would need to increase their time spent by a minimum of 50 minutes a day. Changes are proposed across five areas: in laws and policies, in social and gender norms, in economic and political security for marginalized families, training for couples and co-parents, and encouraging and supporting individual men themselves.- Creator
