PERSPECTIVE Realizing Womens Human Rights in Development Recommendations on Financing for Sustainable and Equitable Development Womens Working Group on Financing for Development(WWG on FfD) June 2015 The United Nations(UN) Third International Conference for Financing for Develop­ment(FfD), which is to be held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in July 2015, will gather high-level political representatives, as well as all relevant institutional stakeholders, non-governmental organizations, and business sector entities to assess the progress that has been made in the implementation of the Monterrey Consensus and the Doha Declaration. Simultaneously, it is expected to support the discussion on means of implementation of the post-2015 development agenda. The establishment of fair rules and democratic multilateral governance on trade, investment, tax, financial and monetary policies is a precondition to remove global obstacles to fulfill states obligations regarding womens human rights and to achieve sustainable development. In this paper, the Womens Working Group on Financing for Development asserts that the FfD process has to set the right path towards establishing global economic governance conducive to achieving just and healthy economies that respect, protect and fulfill human rights and gender equality; and compiles the main arguments and policy recommendation for a gender-sensitive and human rights based outcome of the FfD process.
