UIL has published a second edition of a collection of case studies of promising literacy programmes that seek to empower women. "Narrowing the Gender Gap: Empowering Women through Literacy Programmes" (originally published in 2013 as "Literacy Programmes with a Focus on Women to Reduce Gender Disparities") responds to the continued interest of stakeholders in Member States in borrowing from examples of literacy practices that enhance gender equality. The examples of effective literacy and numeracy practices featured in this compilation showcase how gender mainstreaming in adult learning has been successfully applied in different contexts and countries across all world regions. The case studies included in this publication share unique experiences and lessons on how to reduce gender disparities in and through adult literacy and basic education. The case studies are drawn from eighteen countries and are also available on the UNESCO Effective Literacy and Numeracy Practices Database (LitBase). [Editing support for this document was provided by Cassandra Scarpino.
