BRIDGE Supporting gender advocacy and mainstreaming by bridging the gaps between theory, policy and practice. www.bridge.ids.ac.uk

BRIDGE is a research and information programme located within the Institute of Development Studies. We produce resources on relevant, timely gender and development issues through collaborative processes, taking an approach focused on transforming gender relations and challenging gender stereotypes. Facilitating information sharing, partnerships and networking, and reflecting perspectives from cont

ributors worldwide, we can influence gender and development agendas by creating platforms for discussion, debate and new ideas. This supports the needs of policymakers, practitioners, advocates and researchers in bridging the gaps between gender theory, policy and practice. BRIDGE targets both gender and non-gender specialists in an effort to ensure gender is central to all development thinking and practice, and to inspire transformation in attitudes, policies and legislation. We are part of a global movement whose vision is a world where gender equality, dignity and social justice prevail, where poverty is eliminated and where human rights – including women’s rights - are realised.

As ‘Addressing the Care Economy’ is one of six focus areas for The UN Secretary-General’s High Level Panel on Women’s Economic Empowerment, revisit Bridge’s Cutting Edge Pack outlining why care is important and exploring which approaches offer the best prospects for change.

Providing care can be both a source of fulfilment and a terrible burden. For women and girls in particular, their socially prescribed role as carers can undermine their rights and limit their opportunities, capabilities and choices - posing a fundamental obstacle to gender equality and well-being.

New from BRIDGE! An extended briefing on Gender, Age and Migration. We look at who migrates and who doesn’t, reasons for migrating, experiences of the migration process and what life is like for different groups of migrants and refugees when, and if, they reach their destinations.
