Fw: [Network2002] Gender Briefing Paper

[Miro Kiss Ida]

A következo címek és kapcsolók egy most kezdodött elektronikus fórumról
származnak. Jövore, Johannesburgban tartják a "Rio+10" néven is ismert
csúcstalálkozót, amelyen az 1992-es riói Föld csúcskonferencia óta
történteket tekintik át, és a jövore nézve tesznek megállapításokat.

Az elektronikus fórumot a Network 2002 nevu hálózat indította, amely a
csúcstalálkozóra készülo civileket kívánja összefogni. Az eszmecsere
levelezo listán zajlik, minden héten más a téma, amelyet egy-egy
"think-piece", rövid, gondolkodásra serkento összefoglaló vezet be.

A jelen levélben ajánlott mini-esszé a gender-témáról szól, amely a szerzo
szerint keresztbe metszi valamennyi többi témakört.

Gender Equity for Sustainable Development
- Briefing Paper -

The need for gender equity cuts across all aspects of Sustainable
Development. This paper depicts some of the on-going blocks to gender equity
at global and regional levels. Touching on a vast array of issues: human
rights and security; poverty; access to and management of resources; trade
and finance; development; and health, it outlines some means to tackle these
problems and proposes some key questions which need to be addressed by the
Johannesburg Summit. A central theme to improving gender equity is the need
to inspire and build a culture of partnership. Partnership not only between
men and women but also between civil society and institutions, and between
the local to global levels of policy making for sustainable development.
