- Description
- Gender, trafficking, and slavery examines the operations of trafficking and other kinds of 'modern-day' slavery, from a gender perspective. It explores the relationships between gender, poverty, conflict, and globalisation that are driving today's slave trade. The authors provide an overview of what trafficking and slavery are, their magnitude, and their complexity. They analyse and assess the attempts of development and human rights organisations to support those at risk, to create alternative livelihood options for them and to help those who escape to rebuild their lives.

- Description
- This collection of articles explores the interface between gender and humanitarian work. Several contributors focus on humanitarian activity during natural disasters, or analyse responses to conflict. Others consider the post-crisis period of reconstruction, and provide lessons and recommendations for conflict resolution and peace-building. The authors argue that gender-blind responses can further endanger the survival of women and their families, weaken their long-term position in society, and also deny them the opportunity to exercise their potential as peace-builders.

- Description
- The contributors examine how gender inequalities impact on men's, women's, and children's experiences of poverty, and demonstrate the importance of integrating gender analysis into every aspect of development initiatives. Covering a range of issues including macro-level neo-liberal restructuring, poverty reduction strategies, gender budgets, education, HIV/AIDS, globalisation, and poverty in the North, the contributors show how gender equality forms an integral part of 'development', which must be mainstreamed into all poverty alleviation programmes and development initiatives if these are to create positive outcomes for poor people.
