Gender inequality exists in all aspects of life and throughout a woman's life cycle.
There is a need to understand the problems older women face and how these are a result of inequalities derived from earlier stages of her life cycle and as a result the specific gender discrimination manifested in old age. These problems require multi-faceted and longitudinal approaches, which can guide policy actions for the empowerment of older women.

It also welcomes submissions from a wide variety of disciplines and approaches to this complex and multifaceted topic.
