The Secretary General of UNCTAD is demanding that women be incorporated into key decions rather that lip service just be paid to their constant issues. He asked governments to look into gender issues and find empirical evidence on them, as well as enable their interest groups to be more forceful in their campaigns. He believes that womens issues play a large part in trade and the economy, and by incorporating women both can be aided. By assisting women, a country can decrease poverty and promote stable growth. By doing this governments can attain the Millenium Goals.
I think once again that it is great that government officials are trying to get women incorporated into major decisions. It is true that incorporating women into decisions can help trade and poverty, women are a large part of the economy and if they have a part in decision making they can help make some great changes to a countries economy.

I completely agree. I think that women deserve just as much a right to a say in government as men do. I think that its awesome to see a country that wants women to stand up and be more forceful in their opinions and having equality because over half of the population is women and we should have a say in what goes on a determines our lives.
I agree with you both. It is rare that you see a country that want to help women get ahead. I am also doing gender issues and it is really hard to find something positive about a women getting equality from the country. Usually the women are at the bottom pf the pole, so a hat off to them. The world is made up of both women and men.
I agree also, its great that a country is standing up and defending women's rights and fighting for them to have a say in the government.
