Priority Theme: Financing for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women
Financing
Gender Equality Is Financing Development (Discussion
Paper). Gender equality is recognized as being
essential to human development, making it critical
to ensure that all aspects of development financing,
domestic and international, fully recognize
women’s
economic contributions, and support their economic
security and rights. Hence, macroeconomic policies,
which influence the volume and distribution of
resources for development, must promote both employment
generation and productive growth, reduce income
and asset disparities, moderate vulnerabilities
related to changes in the global economy, protect
against environmental and social risks, and explore
innovative sources of financing. This paper is
a contribution to the discussion on Financing for
Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment at
this year’s session of the Commission on
the Status of Women. It is in the process of review;
comments are welcome. more »
