- Summary
- The brief is the 11th statement from AWID, dealing with and describing the global crisis' impact on women's right. In this brief the AWID offers a cross–regional analysis of the relation between the crisis and women's right. The brief stresses that the crisis is multidimensional with many facettes that must be adressed in order to ensure that women's rights will not be disregarded. The brief further argues that stimulus packages, recovery plans as well as economic and financial structures and global governance
mechanisms should be gender sensitive and promote women’s rights. - Related documents
