GATNET NOVEMBER DIALOGUE: GENDER MAINSTREAMING IN RURAL TRANSPORT
Dear UTSG Colleagues,
You are welcome to join a new month-long peer discussion just getting underway in the GATNET cluster of websites reporting on the special challenges of Gender, Equity and Transport. The topic of the November dialogue is "Gender Mainstreaming in Rural Transport". The discussion is being led by Priyanthi Fernando of Sri Lanka, a long time leader in the field of gender studies and public policy.
You are invited to follow and participate through either or both of the following two platforms:
· The Dgroups Community -- at https://dgroups.org/worldbank/gatnet/

Other useful sources, information on the topic as we go along:

· Gatnet Shared library - https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B41h-Am2TpUHUElXS2llamVXaGc&usp=sharing
If you have questions or ideas concerning the Dialogue, I propose that you contact Ms. Fernando by email at [log in to unmask] And for more mundane details about organization of the various platforms, I invite you to get in touch with me direct at [log in to unmask]
Please join us. This field is starting to coalesce quite nicely as the results of so much work being done by so many committed people in so many places it is all starting to add up. As you will see in this month's Dialogue.
Kind regards,
Eric Britton

The program deals with specific problems in specific places in Africa, Asia and Latin America, mainly in very poor in both urban and outlying rural areas where access is an enormous problem of day to day life, often falling especially hard on women and young girls.
