Gender & Development gives me tremendous benefit in my job. It has changed the way I understand women's concerns

About Us
About the journal
Since 1993, Gender & Development has promoted and supported dignified, decent and sustainable development founded on equality between women and men. The journal currently has a readership in over 90 countries, and has become essential reading for development practitioners, policy-makers and academics.
Gender & Development aims to debate best practice and new ideas, and to make the links between theoretical and practical gender and development work. Insights from development initiatives across the world are shared and analysed, and lessons identified. Innovative theoretical concepts are explored by key academic writers, and the uses of these concepts for policy and practice are explored. Academically rigorous material is presented in clear English, making it accessible to the widest possible readership.
Each issue focuses on a cutting-edge theme. An overview is followed by a range of articles from researchers, policy-makers, and practitioners, an up-to-date resources section, book reviews on the latest publications in the gender and development field, and a unique section on views, events, and debates, providing an overview of current perspectives, events, and trends in international gender equality and women's rights.

Contribute to Gender & Development journal
Contributions are welcome from all involved in development initiatives: policy-makers and practitioners, researchers both inside and outside academia, and feminist activists. In recognition of common causes of poverty and marginalisation across the world, writers focus on both Southern and Northern contexts. Articles should be previously unpublished, and should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. For those who have not written for a journal before, part of the Editor's role is to offer support and advice during the writing process.
Gender & Development appears three times a year, in March, July, and November. As the journal is thematic, most articles are commissioned nine months prior to publication. The Editor should be contacted as early as possible regarding proposals for contributions.

Gender & Development also commissions non-thematic shorter articles (750-1,000 words long), interviews, and conference reports, for inclusion in its Views, events, and debates section, as well as book reviews.
Gender & Development has a constituency that ranges over many disciplines, countries, and levels. Reflecting this, we request writers to assist us in our aim of reaching the widest readership possible, while retaining factual rigour and accuracy, by using a clear, accessible style. In this way, complex ideas can be discussed across cultures, classes, and constituencies, assisting women and men to empower themselves and determine their own development.
If you are interested in contributing to Gender & Development, see our contributor guidelines for Articles, Book Reviews and Views, Events, and Debates. Further information can also be obtained from the Editor: gadeditor@oxfam.org.uk.
