- Description
- This report brings together lessons learned of six projects that applied a rights-based approach to development. Using different strategies to fulfill different rights – to food, livelihood, education, work, housing, freedom from sexual harassment and overall development – eight organizations from five states in India (Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Uttaranchal and West Bengal) worked to protect and promote the rights of women and girls who face significant violations of their rights.. .This report on lessons learned from these six projects has highlighted a range of economic, social, cultural and political rights (as entrenched in national and international legal instruments) that must be recognized and respected for social justice and social change to be realized. It also makes clear that the pursuit of one or more of the objectives of a rightsbased approach by the six partners has helped pave the way for enhancing the strategies and outcomes of the approach as a whole. The eight organizations involved in this project articulated, defined, refined and questioned the viability of a rights-based approach to development. They did so in the contexts of each respective project, and they identified various outcomes that such an approach creates for their own work. It is hoped that this report will pave the way to an enriched debate on and increased use of a rights-based approach to development, particularly with regard to its benefits for poor and marginalized people around the world.

- Description
- This report provides an analysis of gender differences in Viet Nam in the context of the economic transition to a market economy. It analyses data taken from the 1997-98 Viet Nam Living Standards Survey in the light of gender inequalities in household structures, living standards, income, education and health and poverty. The report concludes that there is a need for policy measures to address social norms and economic disparities between men and women particularly in the case of rural women. Gender-specific interventions are required which take into account the decisions that women and men make around the demand and supply of goods and services in the context of specific market and employment conditions. Such interventions include the balance of taxation, policies around direct provision of goods and services and income transfer. Policies should not be directed at households without acknowledging the 'hidden' gender inequalities within households and data is therefore needed on intra-household resource allocation and how it relates to income generation. There is also a need for more data on different geographical contexts, ethnic minority issues, credit facilities, unemployment and domestic violence. More gender disaggregated statistics are also needed to support the national Strategy for the Advancement of Women and the dissemination of research must be prioritised
