"Unequal relationships between women and men affect their opportunities to participate in and benefit from development interventions. Efforts to promote women\'s empowerment and equal benefits from development to men need to be grounded in a sound analysis of gender relations in each specific context. Gender relations-the relationships between women and men are complex, diverse and dynamic; promoting gender equality is therefore a continuous process that needs to be built in to development policy and planning."
