We explore and promote gender responsive infrastructure and planning 鈥� making cities, towns and villages work for all; before, during and after disasters, and more resilient to climate change.
Description
The majority of听infrastructure projects fail to take gender inequalities and patterns of exclusion into account. Beyond access to services, the routine lack of women鈥檚 participation at all stages in听engineering听infrastructure projects means gender inequality is听reinforced and infrastructure loses important potential inputs that could make听it听more effective and sustainable.听Those are largely instrumentalist arguments in favour of the inclusion of women and other social groups in the听engineering听infrastructure process. There is a more fundamental rights-based argument that demands equality of opportunity at every听stage听but which is rarely achieved.
