Weighing up Cairo evidence from women in the south
Weighing Up Cairo critically revisits the promises and outcomes of the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) from the perspectives of women in the Global South. Drawing on qualitative testimonies, community research, and policy analysis, the book evaluates how commitments on reproductive rights, health access, gender equality, and bodily autonomy have—or have not—been realized in practice. It highlights the gaps between global policy rhetoric and lived realities shaped by poverty, cultural norms, political instability, and limited resources. By foregrounding Southern women’s voices, the work exposes structural barriers that impede reproductive justice while illuminating local strategies and grassroots advocacy that push for meaningful change. Ultimately, the book offers a nuanced assessment of ICPD’s legacy, urging more equitable, context-sensitive, and rights-based approaches to global population and development agendas.
