Institutions, organizations and gender equality in an era of globalization
Development organisations can play a significant role in supporting women in the communities where they work to challenge unequal gender relations. The authors of this article argue that the majority of development organisations fail to do so because they pay insufficient attention to the importance of social institutions in perpetuating inequality. The article also examines how Gender at Work encourages development organisations to analyse gender relations in the societies in which they work, and in the organizationsinstitutions they need to challenge.
