The UN reform... and what about women? - Tue Aug 26 2008
For DAWN (Development Alternatives with Women for a New Era), a highly-placed gender entity in the United Nations whose principal function will be limited to acting as a watchdog for gender mainstreaming and which will have very limited capacity to undertake projects on its own will not close the existing gap between official rhetoric and action on gender equality and women’s empowerment. In the ongoing discussions, the location-position of women’s empowerment and gender equality is unclear, particularly because it is often couched in mainstreaming or cross-cutting language.
