International Organizations and Gender

Abstract

This paper explores the nexus between the International Organizations and Gender. It is within the purview of the paper that the International Organizations are the conduit pipes through which the global democratic agenda of gender and women empowerment flow. Utilizing secondary sources of data, the paper avers that International Organizations are pivotal to Gender and women empowerment generally as they are involved in mobilizing public support, monitoring the effectiveness of international aid and providing information and expertise towards gender equity and equality. The paper concludes that International Organizations, especially the United Nations Organization (U.N.O.), because of their universal spread and influence, have indeed become the channel through which the global developmental agenda is pursued and spread and have thus become important actors and partners in development
