Description
What is gender, and why is it a development issue? How can development projects and programmes take gender issues into account? These are all vital questions which need to be addressed if development is to be truly effective. Half the World, Half a Chance explains how and why women are disadvantaged, not only by social and economic structures, but also by many current development initiatives.
