Violence against women bypassed in Development Debate

Of the global actors, the UN has proved an exception to the above rule, but even the UN is yet to come out with a truly holistic conception of development. The Millennium Development Goals of the UN have helped pinpoint some urgent concerns which go to the heart of development but one could state that the outlined aims have not been made to cohere in a synthesizing concept which could be referred to as development. The UNDP’s 2013 Human Development Report is a testimony to the UN’s efforts to arrive at an over-arching conception of development. Nevertheless, these labours could be said to be fruitful because without them the world would still be in a state of ignorance as regards the essentials of development.
