Short Summary |
There is growing recognition that although women
still form the majority of the poor and of the socially and politically
marginalized, there is a need for a more conscious application of
gender analyses to relations between women and men, and to men's own
experience. Recent research shows that men, as well as women are being
impoverished by an unjust and unsustainable economic model. The working
papers are a selection of contributions presented at a seminar hosted
by Oxfam Great Britain with the Centre for Cross-Cultural Research
on Women at the University of Oxford. The seminar aimed at exploring
the sectors and contexts in which gender and development work should
involve men as beneficiaries, as well as the issues facing men working
in development projects that have a commitment to gender equality
and feminist agendas. Main themes addressed by the working papers
include supporting male social pioneers of gender equality in Ethiopia,
male involvement in perpetuating and challenging female genital mutilation
in Egypt and challenging machismo to promote sexual and reproductive
health in Nicaragua. |
