Publication:
Breaking Through the Development Silos: Sexual
and Reproductive Health and Rights, Millennium Development Goals and
Gender Equity, is a collection of case studies from Mexico, India and
Nigeria. Learn how certain national poverty reduction strategies in the
economic south have failed to challenge the root causes of gender
inequality, have perpetuated gendered divisions of labor and have been
very limited in integrating poverty and SRHR. Through this global
research, DAWN demonstrate the phenomenon of "siloization” or the
fragmentation and isolation of important social and human-rights issues
from poverty agendas. This book provides useful evidence to support global
advocacy on SRHR and gender equality in the context of the upcoming
Cairo+20 and MDG+15 review processes in 2014 and 2015.
