Gender Equality a Key for Poverty Alleviation and Sustainable Development

Reducing poverty and improving equity
May 17, 2019 | Agency for Development and Cooperation, Federal Department of Foreign Affairs, Bern,

Inequalities between women and men are the  most widespread form of exclusion and a structural cause of poverty. In this joint paper, the Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs, Bern, suggest that the reduction of gender inequalities would contribute strongly to social justice and sustainable development by tackling policy dialogue and framework conditions at the macro level, institutional development and relations between and within organisations at the meso-level; and women and men in households/communities at the micro-level.
