The momentum to integrate women into development programs emerged from the priorities and interests of two different groups of women in the 1970s:

The UN Commission of the Status of Women

And national women’s movements, particularly in the US.

Some of the specific concerns addressed were

Nutrition

Health

Education

Access to resources, such as land and credit

These needs are now referred to as practical needs…the basics for survival.
