This book can be considered as a significant documentation effort on this sensitive and important topic. The experiences of Policy Level Interventions for Women and Human Settlements and he nature of impact made on he women related initiatives and the nature support needed in future housing policies have been covered in this book. It brings out succinctly the role of women as reproducers and producers and as community managers contributing to the shelter development process and the specific problems of women headed house-holds in Asian, African and Latin American countries Mrs Sehgal powerfully argues the distinction to be made between practical and strategic gender need to correct the assumption that meeting women's practical needs automatically further women's strategic needs. Built on the initial conceptual frame work, the book brings out series of case studies in subsequent chapters from Asia, Africa and Central and South America, India, Sri Lanka, Peru. Each of the case studies bring vast potential and prospects for application in various project cycles with experiences of women in self-help housing programmes with grassroot level initiatives as well as involvement in construction, housing and human settlements.
