This site describes how the Bank seeks to reduce gender disparities and enhance women's participation in economic development through its programs and projects.
It summarizes knowledge and experience, provides gender statistics, and facilitates discussion on gender and development.
The World Bank has incorporated gender issues in its lending program since the early 1970s. The emphasis on this area has increased in the years since the Beijing Fourth World Conference on Women (1995). Recently, the Bank has renewed its focus on poverty reduction as its primary mission and adopted a broad definition of poverty that includes empowerment, opportunity, and security, as well as income, as necessary to the fight to end poverty. These changes set the stage for the Bank to deepen its focus on gender equality.
