Seminario internazionale "Gender and Access in South Asia" (IUSSP) - call for papers
International Seminar on “Gender and Access in South Asia”, organised by the IUSSP Panel on Gender and Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies (Dhaka). Dhaka, Bangladesh, November 2006.
Deadline for submission of abstracts 15 April 2006
The seminar will focus on the following aspects of gender inequalities in South Asia: (1) Access to public services such as health care and education; (2) Access to opportunities such as employment and credit; and, (3) Access to Public Institutions and Public Spaces such as political participation and leadership, legal protection, religious institutions and freedom from sexual harassment in accessing public spaces and transportation systems.
We are looking for empirical papers using quantitative or qualitative methods that examine these issues in specific regional contexts and foster cross-national dialogue. Our goal is to generate evidence based discourse that helps us evaluate the role of public policies and institutions in creating or moderating gender inequalities in South Asia. A full announcement and description of this seminar is available at http://www.iussp.org/Activities
People interested in contributing to the seminar should submit either completed papers, which must be unpublished, or detailed abstracts by 15 April 2006, on the IUSSP website at: http://www.iussp.org/Activities
