Gender, Participation and the Politics of Difference

Format:Book

The author argues that much of the time in development, "gender" is taken to mean "women", and women are treated as an identifiable single category, thought of in a narrow range of stereotypical ways, and that "gender analysis" does not extend to analysing men's positions, views and reactions as men. For "gender-aware PRA" to be genuinely aware of gender and to be really participatory, it is crucial that facilitators reflect on their own preconceived ideas and prejudices.
