This book explores and analyzes gender mainstreaming in South Asia.
Gender mainstreaming as a concept is about removing disparities
between men and women - about equal access to resources, inclusion
and participation in the public sphere, representation in
government, and empowerment, all with the aim of achieving equal
opportunities for men and women in family life, society,
administration, politics, and the economy. The challenges of gender
mainstreaming in South Asia are huge, especially in the contexts of
patriarchal, religious, and caste-based social norms and values.
Men's dominance in politics, administration, and economic
activities is distinctly visible. Women have been subservient to
the policy preferences of their male counterparts. However, in
recent years, more women are participating in politics at the local
and national levels, in administration, and in formal economic
activities. Have gender equality and equity been ensured in South
Asia? This book focuses on how gender-related issues are
incorporated into policy formulation and governance, how they have
fared, what challenges they have encountered when these policies
were put into practice, and their implications and fate in the
context of five South Asian countries. The authors have used varied
frameworks to analyze gender mainstreaming at the micro and macro
levels. Written from public administration and political science
perspectives, the book provides an overview of the possibilities
and constraints of gender mainstreaming in a region, which is not
only diverse in ethnicity and religion, but also in economic
progress, political culture, and the state of governance.
