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.

The government of Malawi has committed to addressing gender inequality and improving women's wellbeing. The government has implemented multiple strategic development plans to guide policy creation and implementation. The current ongoing strategic plan is the Malawi Growth and Development Strategy (MDGS) III, which is aimed at alleviating poverty and fostering sustainable economic growth. In January 2021 the government of Malawi introduced the Malawi 2063 Vision, a strategic development plan which aims for low-middle income status by 2030.i To meet the goals set out in Malawi 2063, human capital development, private sector development, economic infrastructure, and environmental stability have been highlighted as critical drivers to be addressed. While the MDGS III and the Malawi 2063 Vision both include a focus on gender equality, this is largely done through a human capital and voice and agency lens, with considerably less focus on how closing gender gaps in the productive economic sectors can boost economic growth and poverty reduction. In the MDGS, gender is placed under 'other development areas' and grouped together with issues relating to youth, disability, and social welfare, with outcomes to be monitored including those focused on access to basic services, women's roles in various levels of decision-making, and gender-responsive budgeting. In the Malawi 2063 Vision, gender is principally discussed under the human capital 'enabler' section.

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.

The focus and approach of South Asia Second Regional Gender Action Plan (SAR RGAP) are based on an analysis of regional trends in key gender outcomes in South Asia, an assessment of SAR RGAP, and an extensive set of consultations, including country-level consultations conducted across the WBG. Implementation of SAR RGAP will take place in the context of the WBG's broader strategy for gender and the latest International Development Association (IDA) commitments. The World Bank Group Gender Strategy prioritizes four domains of gender equality: (a) improving human endowments, (b) more and better jobs for men and women, (c) women's access to productive assets, and (d) improving women's voice and agency and engaging men and boys (WBG 2015). An update of the Gender Strategy is currently under preparation, with completion expected in 2024. SAR RGAP aligns with this broader strategy but is also selective and therefore focuses on the most pressing gender gaps in the region. SAR RGAP also follows the December 2021 IDA replenishment, aligning with all eight of its policy commitments for gender: (i) investing in women's empowerment, (ii) scaling up productive economic inclusion, (iii) expanding childcare, (iv) supporting medium, and high-skilled employment opportunities for women, (v) closing the gap in digital technology, (vi) strengthening women's land rights, (vii) increasing support for prevention of and response to GBV, and (viii) implementing fiscal policy and budget systems to close gender gaps.

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.

La publication est issue d’un congrès international organisé à Bordeaux en octobre 2022 sur le thème de l’éthique inclusive, envisagée comme nouvel horizon éducatif pour les enseignants et pour l’enseignement. Cette recherche esquisse les contours conceptuels d’une approche éthique de l’éducation dite inclusive, entre conceptions de l’homme dans son rapport au savoir et enjeux des idéaux démocratiques. Ce livre étudie également de singulières exceptions à la norme éducative, que les contextes ne manquent pas de charrier, qu’il s’agisse d’environnements sociaux, géographiques ou de nosographies de santé. La réflexion sur la dimension éventuellement ségrégative du travail de dénomination et de catégorisation de la différence amène progressivement les auteurs à l’épineuse question des réponses éducatives et pédagogiques adaptées à ces situations singulières. Au coeur du processus, des propositions de nouveaux outils, de nouvelles stratégies ou de nouvelles approches sont dépliées , non sans une mise en l’épreuve scientifique de leur pertinence dans la continuité dans le temps et les espaces culturels
