В докладе «Прогресс женщин мира» оцениваются масштабы и характер
преобразований в семейной жизни, а также их последствия для деятельности
в области обеспечения равноправия и расширения прав и возможностей
женщин.
Доклад представляет всеобъемлющую программу действий для ключевых
участников, включая сторонников гендерного равенства, национальных
правительств и международных организаций с тем, чтобы сделать права
человека реальностью для каждой женщины и девочки, независимо от
того, в какой семье они живут.
В докладе семья рассматривается как институт, где сосуществуют сотрудничество
(солидарность и любовь) и конфликты (неравенство и насилие). Доклад
опирается на идеи феминистской экономики, чтобы объяснить как на
неравенство в семье влияет неравный вес голоса членов семьи в переговорах,
например, по вопросам распределения ресурсов или разделения неоплачиваемого
труда по уходу и работы по ведению домашнего хозяйства, и предлагаются
решения.
