análisis de la eficacia de la ayuda en el sector de la salud
y los derechos sexuales y reproductivos en tres países:
Etiopía, Níger y Senegal. Para ello toma como ejes de investigación
la situación del sistema sanitario, el estatus
de la mujer y los derechos sexuales y reproductivos, las
políticas públicas de lucha contra la pobreza y de mejora
de la salud sexual y reproductiva, la cooperación internacional
en el sector salud y por supuesto, la cooperación
española en cada uno de los países objeto de estudio.

I will discuss (i) the shortcomings of the formal equality model in addressing unpaid care work and (ii) the relevance and poten-tial of the substantive equality framework which is more focused on power transformation and empowerment of women to tackle discrimination against them based on the unfair dis-tribution of care work. In a second chapter, I will put this discussion into the context of the CEDAW as a treaty which focuses on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women. I will examine how the Women´s Convention currently puts women´s unpaid care and domestic work into context, looking especially at its general recommendations. I will argue that CEDAW shows a clear evolution from a formal model of equality as regards women´s unpaid care work to a more transformative approach clearly embracing substan-tive equality in its recent General Recommendation No. 34 (on rural women). A third chap-ter analyses how care work is raised as a development concern in the 2030 Agenda and then sets out some cases of excellent development practice adopted by INGOs.

All types of violence against women have a common denominator in that they are sexual violence- based on women´s physical difference and social and economic subordination between families, societies and States. Sexuality is an integral component of the web of gendered power relations that reach beyond the economic and political spheres to control women´s behaviours and maintain their subordination.

• Thus represents a serious impediment for women´s empowerment in regards to access paid jobs, girls attending school, and women´s participation, self-care, and health. • Care issues have been neglected in the development debate and, not properly considered in development policies and interventions.
• The 2030 Agenda acknowledges unpaid care and domestic work as a means of combating gender inequality in a global policy agenda.
