Gender & Development Journal and Oxfam GB Launch Online Discussion
Forum on Gender and the Economic Crisis
From August 2009, Gender & Development will be
leading a learning project on Gender and the Economic Crisis in partnership
with Oxfam GB.
The project aims to provide a forum for researchers,
academics, feminist activists and gender and development advocates and
community workers to come together to focus on gender equality and women's
rights in the economic crisis.
It is hoped the project will result in:
·
Mapping, learning and
networking of what we know to date about the impact of the economic crisis on
women and gender relations, and future implications for national growth,
poverty alleviation and feminist empowerment.
·
A clearer knowledge
of good research, activism and support at grassroots level, and who is doing
each of these and better knowledge of potential for future shared activism and
initiatives.
The project will consist of four components:
·
Gender &
Development Special Issue: The Economic Crisis
Published July 2010.
·
Gender &
Development Network - Online discussion forum on Gender and the Economic Crisis
A forum where members can network, share ideas, learning, and research.
·

Economic Crisis: Development Responses Workshop
