This book contains an Open Access Chapter In 1995, the Fourth World
Conference on Women: Action for Equality, Development and Peace
affirmed the need to address gender inequalities and foster gender
integration. Ever since, the field of gender professionals has been
growing, yet the experiences, insights and data gathered have not
been systematically examined and incorporated into an accessible
body of knowledge. Working to address this, expert contributors
demonstrate the depth and breadth of gender and practice. Including
examples from Brazil, Cameroon, Ecuador, Nigeria, Sao Tome and
Principe, the USA, and Vietnam, as well as chapters that take a
global perspective, the research here looks at issues and
activities relating to infusing gender in knowledge management,
training, and practice. Including subjects such as education,
agricultural production, and tourism, this volume offers a variety
of perspectives that will appeal to any researcher in gender.
Throughout the volume, expert practitioners situate their
real-world experiences in the broader intersectional framework
employed by their academic colleagues, offering policy makers,
students, scholars, practitioners, and activists concrete examples
of how and why gender is central to development.
UN Sustainable Development Goal 5: Achieve Gender Equality and
Empower All Women and Girls. In Gender and Practice: Insights from
the Field, twelve chapters contribute to the creation of an
accessible body of knowledge that looks to provide gender
practitioners with examples of what works, and what doesn't, in the
attainment of gender equality. This volume demonstrates the depth
and breadth of gender and practice. Looking across countries
including Cambodia, India, Kazakhstan, Tanzania, Uganda, Vietnam,
and the United States, the chapters explore global perspectives and
global ramifications. Contributors examine issues and activities
related to infusing gender in education, training and practice, and
many chapters specifically address one or more of the UN
Sustainable Development Goals. Including chapters on medical
treatment, climate change, non-profit and community organizing, and
agriculture, this volume is useful to all those looking to explore
current gender research.
