Statement by Kemal Dervis On the Ocassion of International Women's Day
The concept of human development has been championed by UNDP for two decades. One of its basic tenets is that development requires more than economic growth alone. The fight against poverty is not a campaign of charity - it is a mission of empowerment. This is especially true as regards women, given that, of the world’s one billion poorest people, three-fifths are women and girls. Gender equality and women’s empowerment – as set out in the internationally agreed Millennium Development Goals – is, therefore, crucial to development.
