Gender analysis has been used in international development for many years. It is now widely recognized that a better understanding of the particular needs of women and men makes a significant difference in the fight against poverty and disadvantage. This hands-on guide is designed to help those working in local government or the voluntary sector to plan and deliver services which will have a real impact on the everyday--but different--lives of women and men. See Both Sides provides invaluable strategy, training exercises, and impact assessment tools, and shares examples from the experience of an organization providing services to single parents. They successfully used gender analysis to widen their target group, revitalize existing services, and develop new ones. The process enabled them to understand better who single parents are, recognize that welfare structures do not always reach them in their diversity, and change their work to reflect the reality of the ways in which parents share care. There is much common ground between gender and other equality areas:"See Both Sides" can also be used to support work on race, disability, and other equalities.Richardson, Karen is the author of 'See Both Sides A Practical Guide To Gender Analysis For Quality Service Delivery', published 2004 under ISBN 9780855985370 and ISBN 0855985372.
