Book Description
Exam Revision from the year 2020 in the subject Gender Studies, grade: graduate, , course: social works and social administration, language: English, abstract: You have been appointed the Minister of Gender and Social Development. Identify and explain the key gender issues that you would seek to address. Show the specific strategies that you would use in addressing those issues. Gender is defined by FAO as ‘the relations between men and women, both perceptual and material. Gender is not determined biologically, as a result of sexual characteristics of either women or men but is constructed socially. It is a central organizing principle of societies, and often governs the processes of production and reproduction, consumption and distribution’ (FAO, 1997). Despite this definition, gender is often misunderstood as being the promotion of women only. However, as we see from the FAO definition, gender issues focus on women and on the relationship between men and women, their roles, access to and control over resources, division of labor, interests and needs. Gender relations affect household security, family well-being, planning, production and many other aspects of life (Bravo-Baumann, 2000)
