The Equity Approach. Equity is the original "WID" [women in development] approach, introduced within the 1976-85 UN [United Nations] Women's Decade. Its purpose is to gain equity for women in the development process. Women are seen as active participants in development. It recognizes women's triple role and seeks to meet strategic gender needs through direct state intervention, giving political and economic autonomy to women, and reducing inequality with men. It challenges women's subordinate position, has been criticized as Western feminism, is considered threatening and is unpopular with governments.
