With the national budget looming on the horizon, the Institute for Gender and Development Studies at the St. Augustine Campus is hosting a pre-budget forum to raise some awareness of its latest project of gender integration. The Forum is free and open to the public and it takes place on Wednesday September 13, at the Main Auditorium of the Learning Resource Centre at the St. Augustine Campus, UWI. The panelists will be Dr. Marlene Attzs, Lecturer, at the Department of Economics, The UWI; Dr. Keron King, Lecturer in Criminology at COSTATT; Dr. Oscar Noel Ocho, Director of The UWI School of Nursing, and Mrs. Carolyn Seepersad-Bachan, former Minister of Public Administration. The theme of the forum is Budget for Gender Justice: Make households matter to the House. The IGDS has undertaken a project to develop a tool to comprehensively integrate a gender perspective into deliberations on the national budget. One of the main objectives of this project is to engage in sector-specific research, to make evident the ways in which the budget is translated into people’s lived realities at the level of the household. |
