About Gender & Development

Gender & Development, co-published by Oxfam and Routledge/Taylor & Francis, has been a steadfast source of essential readings in the field of development for over 30 years. It foregrounds the experience of development practitioners, many from the global South, who have valuable experiences to share but who may face barriers to publishing in conventional journals. Since its founding in 1993, the journal has critically explored a range of cross-cutting issues in the areas of gender and development. It is a trailblazer in establishing inclusive and decolonialist approaches to knowledge creation and management in the wider international humanitarian and development sectors.

From 1st January 2022, a consortium of Oxfam affiliates in the global South began hosting Gender & Development. Together, Oxfam Brazil, Oxfam Colombia, Oxfam India, Oxfam KEDV (Türkiye), Oxfam Mexico and Oxfam South Africa took over from Oxfam Great Britain, which has provided the editorial home for the journal since its founding more than 30 years ago. This consortium will continue to maintain the journal’s editorial independence and strongly position Gender & Development as a journal that gives voice to the work of gender and development practitioners, policy makers, researchers, and feminist and grassroots activists and their organisations from around the globe.
