  • Financing Gender Equality Is Financing Development (Discussion Paper)
    www.unifem.org ] Languages:  English 
    Gender equality is recognized as being essential to human development, making it critical to ensure that all aspects of development financing, domestic and international, fully recognize women’s economic contributions, and support their economic security and rights. Hence, macroeconomic policies, which influence the volume and distribution of resources for development, must promote both employment generation and productive growth, reduce income and asset disparities, moderate vulnerabilities related to changes in the global economy, protect against environmental and social risks, and explore innovative sources of financing. This paper is a contribution to the discussion on Financing for Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment at this year’s session of the Commission on the Status of Women. It is in the process of review; comments are welcome.
