*Can
more women be included in the delegations to G7?
*Is
GENDER specifically included in the G7 discourse?
*How
will women's voices be heard, respected, included in this international
economic crisis dialogue process, for addressing the reality that women are the
majority of the world's poor and increasingly so during the global economic
crisis?
