Social Watch Report 2005- Roars and Whispers Gender and Poverty: Promises vs. Action

---

This annual Social Watch report monitors the progress of the MDGs and poverty reduction using a gendered approach. Divided into three areas it covers: themed discussions, monitoring progress, and national reports from over 50 countries.

The study shows that the international community has largely failed to live up to the commitments it adopted in 2000. The report highlights that despite the promises made by governments, spending on social services is decreasing throughout the world while inequality has grown since 1990.

The themed articles include discussion on: poverty and globalisation; civil society recommendations on how to achieve the MDGs; water and the protection of international law; the use of IFIs to fulfil the MDGs; after the tsunami, rebuilding for tourists; MDGs in the Arab region: a tool and a challenge; and the European Union’s lost opportunities as a global actor.
