"Equality between women and men is no longer a negotiable issue." These are strong words of Gertrude Mongella of Tanzania, the Secretary General of the Beijing Women’s Conference. She says equality is at the center of everything which touches women worldwide.
In many societies women are invisible. They grow the crops, bring up the children, take care of the home, sell food they produce in their gardens and work in the informal sector — that sector, which doesn’t get counted when a country’s Gross Domestic Product is calculated. Poor women living on the margin of society, refugee women and migrant women are usually more vulnerable than men in the same circumstances. So unless their special needs are recognized and addressed, many of the world’s women will continue to be on the bottom, worker ants toiling in appalling conditions.
Education is a major need for woman and girls. Today, in spite of repeated calls at international conferences, education for them is often out of reach, or not provided, and is frequently unequal. Educational opportunities for women are limited at best.
Women’s health needs have in the past often been overlooked, or assumed to be the same as men’s At the Cairo Conference last year it was agreed that the consequence of unsafe abortions are part of overall health care. The conferences recognise that women have specific health needs which must be understood, and that women must have full access to adequate health care services.
An old phenomenon but one which has only been recognized as a social ill in recent years is violence against women Generally this means domestic violence, as women are far more likely to be injured by their husbands or male partners than they are to initiate physical attacks. Violence against women is found throughout the world.
Another fairly new realisation is that women suffer greatly in times of war. They lose their homes, confliers disrupt societies and civilian jobs disappear. In the increasing number of ethnic conflicts women and children are just as likely to become victims as men in the armed forces are.
The Beijing Programme of Action also draws attention to a key problem, women’s lack of power in decision-making at all levels. In the home women may make the important decisions. but they rarely share power with men in their communities, and they are seldom asked for the opinions when policies are formulated. Nor do most societies actively promote the advancement of women.
Women’s central role in managing natural resources and protecting the environment has been overlooked more often than it has bean acknowledged. Women are the ones who grow most of the food crops in developing countries, and they know from their hands-on experience when agricultural techniques upset the environmental balance. As in all the other areas of setting policy, their experience needs to be drawn into the mainstream Women can’t be overlooked when environmentally safe sustainable development plans are being worked out. If they are left out of this process, the policies will lose some of their impact. In a "worst case" situation, the policies will fail because they are not grounded in women’s experience going back over generations.
"As long as women remain unequal they can’t have access to resources, they can never Participate in political decision-making, they can’t make their own choices in life. That is the bottom line." Mrs Mongella says women round the world are all concerned about equality. In developing countries, in states emerging as industrial powers, in the countries of the West, women are looking for action, action she sometimes calls a revolution.
