It has come to this -- meta-activism

Excerpt from an analysis of discourse on gender in the WHO's Midterm Review. There will be rules for making rules.

---

"Overall there is the same reflection of gender issues in the MTR [midterm review], with 10 out of 27 speeches making one or more reference to gender. In total, sixteen references were included in the speeches, of which nine referred to differential or specific health needs/outcomes of women and/or men. There was one reference to gender equality, and two references to women’s rights, suggesting that senior manager speeches are not focusing on gender equality as a rights issue, but on differential health outcomes as a “technical” issue. WHO could set as an intermediate target that at least 50 % of senior manager speeches include at least one reference to gender issues."
