In this issue, we profile Creating Resources for Empowerment in Action (CREA), a pioneering women's rights organisation anchored in the global South, and led by Southern feminists. CREA is based in New Delhi and works with its networks across India and the surrounding South Asian region. CREA has also built extensive partnerships with women's rights organisations in Central Asia and East Africa and has a satellite office in New York. Together with its partners, CREA works to advance the human rights of women and girls, and the sexual and reproductive health and rights of all people at the local, regional, and international levels.by Angela Ryan-RappaportIn July 2010, we published an issue of Gender & Development (Vol. 18, No. 2) analysing the impact of the economic crisis on women. Given the early stage at which these articles were prepared, there was very little evidence about the long-term effect of the crisis. So where are we now, two years later?by Ruth PearsonIn 1992, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the United Nations held its landmark Conference on Environment and Development. Also known as the Earth Summit, the Conference set the global environmental agenda for the next two decades. Now, twenty years on, the world's governments, development practitioners, and environmental activists are set to reconvene once again, in Brazil, in June 2012, for the UN Conference on Sustainable Development-Rio +20. Along with the institutional framework for sustainable development, the Conference will be focusing on the theme of ‘a green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication’. Given such an emphasis, what will Rio + 20 mean for the many millions of poor women across the world, struggling with the effects of poverty, climate change, and environmental degradation? Here, we ask Nidhi Tandon, G&D Editorial Advisory Board member, and author of the forthcoming UN Women's paper on Rio + 20 and the Green Economy, to explain the issues as she sees them.View full textDownload full textRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13552074.2012.663642
