 The
UNESCAP Gender and Development Section publication "Social
Safety Nets for Women" has been named a
winner of the "Notable Government Documents 2003"
Award, presented by the Library Journal, a
publication of the American Library Association.
The study examines social protection
systems and crisis-designed social safety nets in six
Asian countries. A primary question in this study is
whether the initiatives to mitigate the shocks of the
crisis adequately reflect the different circumstances
of women and men in the labor force and society in general.
Attention is paid to governments’
attempts to target women as recipients of social safety
net programmes and to the role of women in informal
social safety nets activities. Please see the link
