Reviews / Votes
Gender Mainstreaming and Development is a timely and essential contribution to development discourse, offering a nuanced and intersectional examination of gender dynamics across sectors. With empirical rigor and conceptual clarity, the book bridges policy and practice, challenging tokenism and advocating systemic change. Each chapter unpacks how gender intersects with power, opportunity, and access-from intimate partner violence to nutrition, agriculture, and the gig economy. This volume highlights persistent inequalities and presents actionable pathways for transformative, inclusive development. It is a valuable resource for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers committed to achieving genuine gender equityDr Nitya Rao, University of East Anglia, Norwich, United Kingdom
