Multiple Gender Dimensions - Example
Gender Excerpt: "Persistent
discrimination locks women in precarious reproductive work and violence. Women,
espe-cially the poor, remain socially discriminated and in many places are
deprived of their bodily, reproductive and sexual rights. This makes them more
vulnerable to exploitation and violence inside and outside their homes. Care
work which is often undertaken by women within households, is given no value or
recognition. Women’s livelihoods and productive activities that include all
forms of health care work are often left unprotected and unsupported. All these
are made more distressed during times of economic crises and by policies that
favor profit over social provisioning."
