Gender and the Economic Crisis: Impact and Responses Workshop

 

Links Provided to Workshop Presentations

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 information on the project click here.

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.
