| description |
Energy sector projects and women's
empowerment are crucial to poverty reduction efforts,
sustainable development, and achievement of the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs). Energy-related issues are often
assumed to be gender neutral. However, energy scarcity can
have disproportionately negative effects on women in the
developing world. A large proportion of the world's
poorest are women, and approximately 70 percent of the
energy sources in developing countries come from biomass
fuels, which are overwhelmingly the responsibility of women.
Historically, this link has not been acknowledged in energy
planning and projects, whether governmental or
nongovernmental. Similarly, energy as a crucial input to
other sectors, such as agriculture, has a myriad of
implications when analyzed through a gendered lens with
respect to specific times and places. Approaching energy
planning in a manner that accounts for changing gender
relations can do much to transform the situation of women
and their relations to men. |
