UNIFEM - WOMEN'S POVERTY &
EXCLUSION
Since poverty traps women in multiple layers of discrimination and hinders
their ability to claim their rights, ending feminized poverty has always been a
core UNIFEM priority. Not only do women bear a disproportionate burden of the
world's poverty, but in some cases, globalization has widened the gap, with
women losing more than their share of jobs, benefits and labour rights. >From
tax systems to trade regimes, however, economic policies and institutions still
mostly fail to take gender disparities into account.
