Topic/Chapter: Mapping Gendered Spaces/ Chapter 5: Identity – Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Sexuality
Opening Field Note synopsis: In 1995 Beijing hosted the United Nations Development Programme’s (UNDP) Fourth Conference on Women. This conference
continued the United Nation’s mission to remove obstacles to women’s active participation in all areas of public and private life by providing them with an equal
role in economic, social, cultural and political decision making. Such concerns that were addressed at the meeting were 1.) The persistent and increasing burden
of poverty on women 2.) The effects of armed or other kinds of conflict against women, including those living under foreign occupation 3.) Inequality in
economic structures and policies, in all forms of productive activities and in access to resources 4.) The inequality between men and women in the sharing of
power and decision making at all levels 5.) Stereotyping of women and inequality in women’s access to and participation in all communication systems. The best
way to tackle these concerns is through fieldwork by geographers.
