Abstract:
ENGLISH ABSTRACT
The World Bank's 2012 World Development Report calls for gender equality on a global level but falls short on its analysis of conflict-affected contexts. It is critical that we understand the needs of vulnerable populations in these settings. This viewpoint draws on findings from research in health reform in conflict-affected contexts to highlight some opportunities and challenges for addressing gender equality in these settings, using the policy priorities outlined in the World Bank report. Drawing on this analysis we argue that more attention and action should be focused on addressing gender inequalities and inequities in neglected conflict-affected states.
FRENCH ABSTRACT
Le Rapport sur le développement dans le monde 2012 de la Banque mondiale lance un appel à l’égalité entre les sexes à l’échelle mondiale mais ne va pas assez loin dans son analyse des contextes touchés par des conflits. Il est crucial que nous comprenions les besoins des populations vulnérables dans ces contextes. Ce point de vue se base sur des conclusions de recherches sur les réformes du système de santé dans les contextes touchés par des conflits afin de mettre en relief quelques opportunités et défis pour assurer l’égalité entre les sexes dans ces contextes, en se servant des priorités de politique générale présentées dans le rapport de la Banque mondiale. Nous nous basons sur cette analyse pour soutenir qu'une attention accrue et des actions plus nombreuses devraient porter sur la lutte contre l'inégalité et l'iniquité entre les sexes dans les États touchés par des conflits qui ont été oubliés.
