Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Aiding Empowerment by Saskia Brechenmacher, Katherine Mann In recent decades, womens political empowerment has become an important foreign policy and assistance objective. Every year, donor governments and multilateral organizations partner with hundreds of civil society groups around the world to train women to run for office, support women legislators, campaign for gender quotas, and bolster womens networks in political parties and parliaments. What ideas about gender, power, and political changeguide these aid programs? What have practitioners and advocates learned about their strengths and weaknesses, and how might they improve their work going forward? Drawing onextensive interviews with aid officials, womens rights advocates, and women politicians in Western donor countries and across Kenya, Morocco, Myanmar, and Nepal, Aiding Empowerment investigates how democracy aid actors promote gender equality in politics. Saskia Brechenmacher and Katherine Mann argue that international assistance for womens political empowerment has evolved significantly over the last three decades, from a first generation of aid programs aimed at integrating womeninto nascent democratic institutions to a second generation focused on transforming the broader political ecosystem hindering womens equal political influence. However, this evolution is still unfolding, andchanges in thinking have outstripped changes in aid practice. Several challenges threaten future progress, from the persistence of patriarchal norms to rising concerns about democratic erosion and backlash. In the face of these hurdles, the book presents practical recommendations for policymakers, practitioners, and advocates fighting for womens political empowerment globally.
