- Description
- The first section of this book examines definitions of violence against women. It discusses responses to violence that are based on human rights approaches, and asks why - until recently - development organisations have failed to use strategies to counter violence against women and to support the victims. The second section focuses on possible strategies for governments and NGO's. Case studies drawn from over 30 countries worldwide, from times of peace and armed conflict, illustrate the possibilities and pitfalls of different strategies and interventions.

- Description
- In this special issue a move beyond aggregation, snapshots and easy labels to understand poverty more. The shortcomings of conventional analyses of poverty and the complexities involved in conceptualizing it in a more meaningful way is highlighted. Female-headed households clearly are disadvantaged in many countries. It is largely informed by the narrow way in which well-being is defined and statistics gathered in conventional poverty research, which also ignores the important dimension of agency that allows women heads to offset gender discrimination as well as the foregone income from a male partner. The extent to which risks for maternal mortality are unequally distributed among women from different socioeconomic backgrounds is highlighted. A research of household level data reveals that poverty and maternal mortality are strongly associated, highlighting the need to move beyond country averages when assessing development performance.

- Description
- To fight poverty and environmental degradation and to respect human rights and women's rights at major UN conferences of the nineties governments committed themselves. Sustainability without qualified participation of women will not work was the message of the Rio Janeiro Agenda in 1992. At the 4th World Conference on Women in Beijing a dual track strategy to this end: empowerment on the one hand and gender mainstreaming, the systematic integration of a gender perspective in all institutions and policy areas, on the other was identified. The unpaid care work of women and the precautionary principle are systematically taken as points of reference in the argumentative discourse.
