 CHAPTER 1

The Problem and Review of Related Literature

Introduction

Women and men are the basic genders of the society. Save

some physical and biological differences, hence specific roles

for men and women apply. Nevertheless, women and men are created

equal and both of them contribute to societys development and

continued existence. However, the more than 2,000 years

histories of people in different cultures all over the world have

shown that a great number of women in many societies have

experienced a life of inequality and discrimination. Gender

inequalities are the most common and pervasive forms of

discrimination all over the world. It means that women are

discriminated, have lower status, and are in a more disadvantaged

position as compared to men.

When it comes to acknowledging the importance

of gender equality and the significant role it plays within

economic development, there is quite a consensus at the official

level. Gender equality plays a crucial part in stimulating

growth, generating employment, and contributing to capital

generation and poverty alleviation. In order to

integrate gender perspective in the policy, gender mainstreaming

is applied. The Council of Europe defined gender mainstreaming as

"the (re)organization, improvement, development and evaluation of

policy processes, so that a gender equality perspective is

incorporated in all policies at all levels and at all stages, by

the actors normally involved in policy- making" (Quinn & Council

of Europe, 2009, p.3). Thus, this is a preventive approach, with

an objective of strengthening equality between men and women.

In societies where significant gender gaps exist,

disparities persist in men and women's access to and control of

human, economic, and social assets, and gender based inequality

limits economic growth and diminishes the effectiveness of

poverty reduction efforts. Namely, many development strategies

rely on, among other things, raising household and individual

income. "To achieve the economic expansion we all seek, we need

to unlock a vital source of growth that can power our economies

in the decades to come. By increasing women's participation in

the economy and enhancing their efficiency and productivity, we

can have a dramatic impact on the competitiveness and growth of

our economies," said the United States Secretary of State, Hilary

Clinton (2011) at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit

(p.l).

However, to achieve gender equality, gender mainstreaming is

not enough as practice often demonstrated. Degraef (2002) found

that in spite of the clear commitment on the application

of gender equality to all policy areas and programs, policy

fields that relate to finance, capital markets and technical

fields are still predominantly male occupied. Nevertheless, the

acceptance of gender notion within the economy heavily picked up

over the past decade. Recently, Prime Minister of Britain, David

Cameron (2012) promoted the increase of the number of women in

roles of responsibility in industry by saying that "It's about

quality, not just equality. If we fail to unlock the potential of

women in the labor market through equal access to resources,

we're not only failing those individuals, we're failing our whole

economy" (p.2).

Abu-Ghaida and Klasen (2002) provides empirical evidence

indicating that a country failing to close the gender gap in

education could experience a decrease in per capita income by 0.1

to 0.3 percentage points. Similarly, the Arab Human Development

Report 2002 concludes that the low empowerment of women is one of

the factors that have seriously hampered human development in the

region over the last three decades (United Nations, 2002). In

view of the above, issues surrounding gender equality need to be

addressed for effective and sustainable economic and human

development.
 Government budgets are far from bureaucratic exercises. They

are profound expressions of how those who govern a country

distribute its resources and how the results of their policies

help or harm different sectors of its population. Budgets

inevitably represent a series of trade-offs. In themselves,

though, the numbers don't illuminate the high stakes, especially

for women and other groups marginalized in the decision-making

process.

Budgets are not gender neutral, either in their development

or in their impact. Because the different impacts that women and

men experience as a result of expenditure and revenue decisions

are not measured, government budgets typically suffer from what

some economists have called "gender blindness."

Gender responsive budgeting (GRB) brings together two

issues that are not commonly associated with one another: gender

equality and public financial management. GRB states that gender

equality principles should be incorporated into the budget

process. Gender-responsive budgeting comes from the impetus to

'follow the money' and see how governments raise money and spend

money - who pays and who benefits, and is it equitable. The idea

of gender-responsive budgeting is to ensure that governments,

regional and local, raise and spend money in ways that

promote gender equality, rather than hampering the achievement

of gender equality.

GRB initiatives seek to improve the results of budgets in

general, and gender equality and womens empowerment in

particular. They focus on key economic and social matters that

are often overlooked or obscured in conventional budget and

policy analysis, and decision making (Sharp & Elson, 2012).The

tools of gender-responsive budgeting enable women to hold

governments to account for introducing budgetary policies that

support gender equality. Some progress on this has been made in

many countries; but each situation is different, depending on the

economic situation and the strength of political commitments

to gender equality.

Review of Related Literature

Ongoing researches need to be connected with a work already

done to prove and attain overall relevance and purpose. The

review of literature thus becomes a link between the research

proposed and the studies already conducted. It tells the reader

about aspects that have been already established or concluded by

other authors. It also gives a chance to the reader to appreciate

the evidence that has already been collected by previous research

thus, projects the current research work in the proper

perspective.
Understanding Gender

Gender inequality persists in Europe. Women continue to earn

less, to be overburdened with unremunerated care work, to be subject

to physical and sexual violence, to be restricted in pursuing labor

market opportunities and, in many other ways, disadvantaged.

Understanding how gender inequalities arise is key to tackling its

various manifestations. Knowing how gender and gender relations are

constructed and perpetuated in society and in the institutions and

processes of government, and that a mainstreaming approach is required

if we are to redress gender inequality and work toward an equal

society is a necessary starting point. Special schemes and programmes

for women, while supplying a measure of relief or support in a

particular area, are not adequate. An approach that views women as

problematic when it comes to government policy, where success is

measured by the number of women accommodated through these special

programmes, is fundamentally flawed. (Quinn, 2010)

Most of us working in the field of adolescent sexual and

reproductive health would agree that the discussion about gender and

gender norms is interesting from evolutionary, sociological,

psychological, and sexual points of view. However, the question of

"gender equality," a more political topic, is what ultimately matters

in improving sexual and reproductive outcomes for adolescents, men,

and women. Unfortunately, in many communities throughout the United

States and in many (if not most) societies throughout the world, a

condition of gender inequality exists where women and "the feminine"

are often devalued, and men and masculine traits are favored. Often,

men possess more power to control decision making in personal,

community, and political arenas and women's needs and interests are

under acknowledged or not adequately addressed. In such societies, the

learned belief that men should maintain control at all times puts

women in situations that threaten their health and well-being. When a

drive to maintain power over others is instilled in men, it puts them

at risk for a variety of negative health outcomes. (Courtenay, 2000)

Gender is an important consideration in development. It is a way

of looking at how social norms and power structures impact on the

lives and opportunities available to different groups of men and

women. Globally, more women than men live in poverty. Women are also

less likely than men to receive basic education and to be appointed to

a political position nationally and internationally. Understanding

that men and women, boys and girls experience poverty differently and

face different barriers in accessing services, economic resources and

political opportunities help to target interventions. (Kangas, A., et.

al, July 2015)

Compared with men, women control fewer political and economic

resources, including land, employment and traditional positions of

authority. Acknowledging and incorporating these gender inequalities

into programmes and analyses is therefore extremely important, both

from a human rights perspective and to maximize impact and

socioeconomic development. The WDR 2012 highlights the importance of

directly targeting the persistent constraints and obstacles to womens

equality (especially in areas of economic empowerment, educational

gaps, household/societal voice, and violence against women) in order

to enhance productivity and improve longer-term development outcomes.

Gender equality is also important for sustainable peace, and there is

a growing body of empirical evidence suggesting that a higher level of

gender inequality is associated with higher risks of internal

conflict.(Kangas, A.,et. Al, July 2015)

Basis of Gender Responsive Budgeting

Gender-sensitive police reform (GSPR) is based on the

premise that women and mens socially constructed roles,

behaviors, social positions, access to power and

resources create gender specific vulnerabilities or

gendered insecurities, some of which are particularly

salient during and after conflict, because sexual and gender-

based violence may have been used as a weapon of war,

and may continue at high levels when conflict is formally

ended. GSPR therefore applies a gender analysis to police

reform processes, ensuring gender equality principles

are systematically integrated at all stages of police reform

planning, design, implementation and evaluation. It also

addresses for instance how the construction of gender

identities shape perceptions of security and police

mandates. Gender Sensitive Police Reform in Post Conflict
