UN Women report on gender equality and sustainable development
United Nations Women 2014 report focuses on gender equality and sustainable development. Discusses green economy and care work, food security, population dynamics, and investments for gender-responsive sustainable development. Uses three criteria to assess whether policy actions and investments for sustainable development adequately address gender equality: i) whether they support women's capabilities and their enjoyment of rights; ii) whether they reduce, rather than increase, women's unpaid care work; and iii) whether they embrace women's equal and meaningful participation as actors, leaders and decision-makers. Proposes recommendations for gender-responsive policy actions and investments towards sustainable development overall.
