| description |
The report, which documents findings of
a review on gender issues in Brazil, during 1999, and
updated in 2001, is responsive to the recognition of gender
as an important issue in increasing socioeconomic
well-being, and reducing poverty. The review examines gender
in terms of demographic trends, health indicators, the
effects and causes of violence, education indicators, labor
market trends, and social protection. It identifies gender
issues across sectors, with a view to improving the
Bank's efficiency, and effectiveness, in reducing
gender inequities that affect both women, and men, though
discussion on male gender issues is limited. Major findings
indicate that mortality rates linked to external factors
(i.e., traffic accidents, homicide, suicide), differ greatly
by gender; pre-natal care for pregnant women continues to be
inadequate; violence continues to be high; teaching methods
tend to reinforce gender segregation; and, early childhood,
and education programs remain poor. Recommendations include
the need for changing societal gender roles, by acting on
gender issues through community, and local level
organizations, but targeting men as well as women, since
male issues, such as violence and under performance in
school, among others, may be attributed to men's
narrowly defined gender roles, while effective women's
programs, often require men's implicit, or explicit
cooperation, and involvement. |
