据美国国际开发署发布的报告，尽管取得了一些明显的进步，妇女在自主权和性别平等方面的总体进展步履蹒跚，参差不齐。
华盛顿 — 美国国际开发署（U.S. Agency for International Development,USAID) 和人口统计与健康调查项目（Demographic and Health Surveys Program）于3月7日公布了一项评估全球妇女地位和性别平等进展的报告。
美国国际开发署在其网站宣布这份报告的发布时指出，此项名为《妇女的生活与挑战：2000年以来的平等和自主权》（“Women’s Lives and Challenges: Equality and Empowerment since 2000”）的报告是近年来有关妇女地位的最广泛详尽的评估之一。报告考察了四个洲45个以上的国家中妇女取得的进步，评估了妇女就业、家庭决策、遭受暴力以及获得教育与医疗保健的趋势。
美国国际开发署主管全球健康的副助理署长凯蒂·泰勒（Katie Taylor）说，“性别平等对许多国家来说仍旧是一个难以达到的目标。”她说，“美国国际开发署支持各国扩大妇女和女孩获得医疗保健、教育、清洁水、适当的营养的渠道，致力于将数据转化为政策和项目以挽救妇女和女孩的生命，改善他们的未来，以及促进妇女的全面参与。”
这项新报告表明，尽管取得了一些明显的进步，妇女在自主权和性别平等方面的总体进展步履蹒跚，参差不齐。
美国国际开发署指出，例如全球妇女获得基础教育的机会在扩展，但在几乎每一个接受调查的国家，识字和小学毕业的男性人数仍然超过了女性。在大多数接受调查的国家中有一半以上的妇女有工作，但妇女为她们的工作所得到现金报酬的可能性仍低于男性。
这项新报告是在美国国际开发署的一项关于弥补性别数据差距的活动上发布的。受邀参加该活动的客人包括美国政府官员及来自非洲联盟（African Union），芬兰和挪威的使节。

Report Evaluates Progress on Gender Equality Globally Since 2000
10 March 2014
Despite some notable gains, overall progress toward gender equality is halting and inconsistent, the report says.
Washington — The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Demographic and Health Surveys Program March 7 released a report that assesses gains in women’s status and gender equality worldwide.
This report, “Women’s Lives and Challenges: Equality and Empowerment since 2000,” is among the most extensive recent assessments of women’s status, USAID said in announcing the release of the report on its website. The report looks at women’s progress in four continents and more than 45 countries and evaluates trends in women’s employment, domestic decisionmaking, exposure to violence and access to education and health care.
“Gender equality is still an elusive goal for many countries,” said Katie Taylor, USAID’s deputy assistant administrator for global health. “Supporting countries to expand women’s and girls’ access to health care, education, clean water, proper nutrition and more, USAID is committed to translating data into policies and programs that save women’s and girls’ lives, improve their futures, and promote women’s full participation.”
Despite some notable gains, overall progress towards women’s empowerment and gender equality is halting and inconsistent, the new report shows.
For example, access to primary education is expanding for women worldwide, but more men than women are literate and have completed primary school in almost every country surveyed, USAID said. While more than half of women are employed in the majority of countries surveyed, women are still less likely than men to be paid in cash for their work, the agency adds.
The new report was released at a USAID event on closing the gender data gap. Invited guests to the event included U.S. government officials and envoys from the African Union, Finland and Norway.
The full report (PDF, 13.7MB) is available on the website of ICF International, USAID’s implementing partner for the Demographic and Health Surveys Program.
