The Gender and the Economic
Crisis Workshop, held at Oxfam House on 15-16th September 2009 brought together
twenty-five practitioners, economists, and academics from a variety of
development and research organisations to present learning and experiences on
the impact of the crisis on gender equality and women’s rights.
The workshop was organised by Oxfam GB and Gender & Development as part of
a wider learning project on the gendered impacts of the crisis. For more

The objective of the workshop was to share information and analyses available
so far on the impact of the crisis on poor women, men and children in
developing countries; to see how the economic crisis links with other crises
including climate change, food security and HIV, and to focus on the ways in
which individuals and households are attempting to survive.
