Gender Mainstreaming in Poverty Eradication and the Millennium Development Goals.

Handbook.

The Commonwealth Secretariat

2003

The main focus of this book is the gender dimensions of poverty and their implications for public policy. Poverty is ‘gendered’ because women and men experience poverty differently – and unequally – and become poor through different, though related, processes. This book brings together concepts, arguments and findings to show: (a) what these gender dimensions are; and (b) how they affect poverty reduction strategies. In particular, it shows that such strategies need to take gender into account if they are to be effective.
