Are gender norms the new magic bullet in development?

"Changing gender norms is not the mandate of any one discipline, sector or actor.

It is incumbent on us all to recognise how the often hidden and implicit rules of gendered behaviour ultimately hold back sustainable and inclusive development progress that is in our collective and universal best interest."

- Caroline Harper, Project Director, ALIGN
