Abstract	This article addresses the question: In the context of poverty, gender-based violence (GBV) and HIV/AIDS currently ravaging under-resourced countries, dare we set our hopes for gender- equitable development in general, and gender equality in education in particular, on the Millenium Development Goals MDGs? The article analyses the interrelationship between gender, poverty and HIV/AIDS and its negative impact on the attainment of the MDG targets for the education of women, as well as for gender equality and women's empowerment. It concludes that liberal policies alone, however well developed and intentioned, are simply not enough to effectively intervene against gender inequality. Rather, in addition to educational factors, programmes that target women's access and success in education as well as gender equality and women's empowerment should aim to address the ways in which contextual factors (e.g. poverty, gender, GBV and HIV/AIDS), interact to negatively impact on the capacity of the system to develop and implement effective interventions.
