Trafficking in women and children is not a new phenomenon in the Nordic-Baltic region. However, the magnitude, forms and impact are more alarming and devasting than before. The Nordic-Baltic Campaign Against Trafficking in Women was carried out in 2002 in the Nordic and Baltic countries. The countries involved in the the campaign have over the years experienced serious problems with trafficking in human beings, especially for the purpose of sexual exploitation. In recent years, the countries have put great efforts into developing national legal, policy, and practical measures to counteract trafficking in human beings. This report includes the various activities carried out in each of the participating countries during the campaign year. The report also includes a summary of the national legal frameworks of these countries as of the end of March 2003 and the statement and recommendations from the informal meeting of Nordic and Baltic ministers for Gender Equality, Justice and Interior in april 2003.

June 2000 - For women in Ghana and Uganda, nonfarm activities play an important role in yielding the lowest - and the most rapidly declining - rural poverty rates. In both countries rural poverty declined fastest for female heads of household engaged in nonfarm work (which tended to be a secondary activity). But patterns vary between the two countries. Newman and Canagarajah provide evidence that women's nonfarm activities help reduce poverty in two economically and culturally different countries, Ghana and Uganda. In both countries rural poverty rates were lowest - and fell most rapidly - for female heads of household engaged in nonfarm activities. Participation in nonfarm activities increased more rapidly for women, especially married women and female heads of household, than for men. Women were more likely than men to combine agriculture and nonfarm activities. In Ghana it was nonfarm activities (for which income data are available) that provided the highest average incomes and the highest shares of income. Bivariate probit analysis of participation shows that in Uganda female heads of household and in Ghana women in general are significantly more likely than men to participate in nonfarm activities and less likely to participate in agriculture. This paper - a joint product of Rural Development, Development Research Group, and the Social Protection Team, Human Development Network- is part of a larger effort in the Bank to discuss gender, employment, and poverty linkages.

This publication, authored by Lance Thompson and published by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, explores the critical role of gender-responsive standards in promoting equality. It emphasizes the importance of integrating gender considerations into standard-setting processes, as traditional standards often overlook the needs of women, leading to potential biases and safety risks. The book highlights the necessity for standards to be inclusive and reflective of the diverse population, aligning with UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 5 on gender equality. It advocates for the involvement of women in technical committees to ensure equitable outcomes and enhance standard credibility. The target audience includes policymakers, standardization experts, and organizations aiming to create equitable standards.
