Title
Energy and Women and Girls: Analyzing the Needs, Uses, and Impacts of Energy on Women and Girls in the Developing World
Publisher

Abstract
This paper by Oxfam tests the implicit assumption that providing energy access automatically improves the lives of women and girls by asking some key pre-requisite questions such as: what are women’s traditional household roles, what energy sources and services do they rely on to perform these roles? And how does a lack of access to modern energy currently affect them? The paper concludes that there is minimal, mixed or unclear evidence for benefits provided by energy access to women and girls. It also recommends organisations to conduct more research in this area.
