Produktbeschreibung
Men and women have unequal control over public spaces, organizations and social institutions. Interventions have been implemented through legislation, carving out exclusive spaces, such as departments, cells, projects or nodal points and allocation of funds. But, these have not really reached their intended results, most probably, as they have not been holistic in their approach. Gender equity may be still an elusive concept.i Gender relations are the key to understanding the inequalities between men and women. These inequalities are expressed in many ways - explicit and implicit. The explicit measures are well known and are revealed in statistics, depicting differences in the sex ratio, child infanticide, literacy rates, health and nutrition indicators, wage differentials and ownership of land and property. The implicit measures are embedded in power and culture. These intra-household inequalities result in unequal distribution of power, unequal control over resources and decision-making; dependence rather than self-reliance; and unfair, unequal distribution of work, drudgery, and even food.
