<P class=MsoNormal style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><SPAN style="COLOR: black">Thirty
five years have lapsed since the first United Nations World Conference on Women
in 1975 acknowledged women’s rights and gender equality as critical components
in addressing social equality and justice within the international community and
by national governments. Since then, women’s movements, both globally and
locally have lobbied governments and stakeholders in society to take active
steps to overcome all forms of discrimination against women. With slow
progress and many challenges in the initial stages, the United Nations in the
early 1990s introduced the strategy of ‘gender mainstreaming’ so that
governments and organisations could implement more effective and
transformational programmes to counter the diluted versions of projects which
merely ‘integrate women’ in the development process.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><SPAN
style="COLOR: black"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><SPAN
style="COLOR: black">Despite these notable efforts gender inequalities continue
to persist and could even worsen during this period of unstable political and
economic environment. Gender mainstreaming has been criticised as being
ineffective in providing redress in the face of gender injustices. The 2010
Asia-Pacific Human Report (UNDP, 2010) which fore-grounded gender equality as
its main theme noted that “in every country across Asia and the Pacific,
pervasive gender inequality remains a barrier to progress, justice and social
stability”. It underscored the point that despite growth in the region, gender
inequality has cut even deeper for poorer and marginalised groups.

<P class=MsoNormal style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><SPAN style="COLOR: black">We
currently live in a period of crisis, uncertainty and possibly, epochal changes.
Social and gender justice has been stalled as the period of neo-liberal
globalisation saw a shift from the politics of redistribution to that of
recognition, with a focus on identity and difference rather than social
solidarity based on justice and respect (Fraser, 2003). Can and should the two
struggles be reconciled? What would be the implications on power relations of
various social forces in society – from those based on class to those groups
organised under the banner of ethnicity, culture, gender and sexuality to name
but a few? How can one demand justice from the state, one which is mediated by
different elements, and within different political contexts – from democratic to
authoritarian regimes? <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
