Social Watch Report 2005, Roars and Whispers, Gender and poverty: promises
vs. action
Social Watch will launch its Annual Report 2005 this 14 September in New
York. “Roars and Whispers. Gender and Poverty: Promises vs. Action”
presents two new indexes to measure social development, and concludes that
the targets set for 2015 as part of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
will not be met.
In addition to country reports from the more than 50 countries that make up
the Social Watch international citizens’ network, the report includes a
global study based on two new indexes designed to measure social
development, the Basic Capabilities Index and the Gender Equity Index,
which complement the human development indexes most commonly used until now
in various aspects.
