Short Summary |
Why is accountability to women important in relation
to human security? In order for organisations to achieve true human
security they need to redress gender inequity and support women's
rights. To realise women's rights, they must ensure the active participation
of women and also work on changing institutions (i.e. families, communities,
markets and the state). Organisations need to connect with women's
mobilisation initiatives. At the same time they need to examine themselves
and change gender-bias in their own organisations. If change is going
to happen on the outside, it needs to happen on the inside as well.
What brings the two aspects together is accountability. Organisations
must be accountable to their women beneficiaries and their women staff
alike. |
