Gender, economic empowerment and 2010

The soccer 2010 World Cup is just around the corner and not only South Africa but the whole region is alive with excitement and possibility. There are a lot of hopes and expectations resulting from the many promises made as part of the hype. There have been promises of economic and social benefit for the new South Africa and her neighbouring countries from the investment coming in, and the influx of tourists with a lot of foreign currency to spend during the tournament. Expectations are high for job creation and a boost in tourism. However, the question that remains is how much of this is pegged for women?
