Gender and Social Policy

Most public policy discussions -- local, national, or international -- include explicit or implicit assumptions about gender, and they are likely to have direct and indirect impacts that are gender-specific.  Policy topics in which gender content is key include, among others, poverty, child welfare, employment, civil rights and human rights, law enforcement, international trade, taxation, education, health, working conditions and wages, reproduction, the media, and science
and technology.
