Gender: IDS research on Gender and Development has sought
diverse ways to understand and address inequality in gender
relations since the late 1970s.
Sexuality & Development: This focus well describes some of
the consequences of the disregard for sexual rights that exists the
world over. However, this negativity generates fear and
disempowerment, and discourages us from seeing how we might be able
to change our situations. Rather than focusing on pain, harm and
wrongs, a more positive, pleasure-oriented, view of sexuality offers
an entirely different set of entry points for work to make sexual
rights real.
