Gender inequality can also be seen in the effects of energy projects like large-scale hydropower plants on women in particular. Christian Aid’s Brazilian partner Movement of People Affected by Dams (MAB), in partnership with UN Women, has carried out a programme of participatory assessments with women from the communities affected by dams in the state of Rondônia. This study showed that with the arrival of the dams, the situation of labour inequality for women worsened as a result of loss of land and involuntary resettlement in urban areas where no provision had been made for their employment.50 Further findings from the study concerned the exclusion of women from decision-making processes and the status of ‘unrecognised affected person’. Women have been the main victims of impoverishment and marginalisation arising from the planning, implementation and commissioning of dams,51 yet have held the least power in terms of affecting these processes. Ensuring that women have a voice about energy provision, and that their views carry weight, is an uphill task. According to research by the Latin American Energy Organisation (OLADE), in 2012, at least six out of the 13 countries studied had a gender policy or gender strategy for their Energy Agencies,52 but only four (Uruguay, Nicaragua, Mexico and the Dominican Republic) had reached satisfactory levels regarding the distribution of decision-making roles in areas of policy and strategy. The same research showed a trend in Ecuador, El Salvador and Peru that women tended to work in administrative roles, whereas men were more likely to hold decision-making positions. The provision of renewable energy, coupled with efforts to challenge traditional gender roles, can play a crucial role in achieving gender energy equality. In order to do so, structural barriers to women’s participation need to be removed. These can range from discriminatory social norms to external conditions that may prevent women from attending meetings; for example, women from rural communities are often unable to participate in social consultations when childcare assistance is not available. It is essential for governments to assess the access of energy resources from a gender perspective, acknowledging the role women play in rural areas.53 The integration of women in the low-carbon transition process will require targeted support and training. On the technical side, this would include training for the design, installation, operation and maintenance of renewable systems; coupled with training in business aspects, for example, in management skills. In this regard, progress has been made through a number of projects in the region. For example, MAB is currently training women in order to promote their participation in coordination roles within the movement. In Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua, NGOs have launched the Regional Gender and Energy Network, an initiative that seeks to contribute to the elimination of inequities in access to universal energy through advocacy work on national public policies to promote sustainable, equitable, gender-sensitive and sociocultural medium-term human development.
