With women representing 70% of the worlds poor, the issue of gender equality in the fight to end poverty has been carried by campaigners to the doors of governments and multilateral instiutions by GCAP coalitions since 2005. This year represents a change in gear for campaigners, concerned by signs that women are the big losers in current development strategies and the poor pace of governments in meeting the Millennium Development Goals.
