'Gender and Development' is an activist-oriented journal published by
Oxfam GB and distributed by Taylor and Francis. It has a primary aim of
supporting transformatory gender mainstreaming in development
organisations. It offers a unique space for development workers and
feminist activists to: share experience learn about the key issues
facing
women, men and children on a particular theme gain access to new
concepts
from theory which are important for programme and policy development. We
want the Gender Mainstreaming issue to be enabling and practical,
offering
ways to help identify solutions and move past dilemmas into action.
1. How has Gender Mainstreaming been understood in different
organisations? What is the link between underlying understandings of
development and poverty and different ways of addressing gender
inequality?
2. For organisations where integration, not transformation, has been the
outcome, leaving feminist agendas unaddressed, what hope is there of
transformation in the future and what kind of strategy might bring it
about?
3. In organisations where mainstreaming has led to some good work which
supports the empowerment of women, what did this look like, and what
were
the success factors regarding organisational culture, and the more
technical areas of organisational structure, systems and procedures,
etc?
4. What comes after Gender Mainstreaming? What should the relationship
be
between feminist movements and development organisations in the future?
Should we give up on gender mainstreaming in the wake of the MDGs, or
are
there new possibilities for transformation?
