Understanding Gender Mainstreaming • Gender mainstreaming adopted at Beijing as a key strategy for promoting gender equality • Gender analysis recommended as the way to understand the differential situation of women and men “Mainstreaming a gender perspective is the process of assessing the implications for women and men of any planned action, including legislation, policies or programs, in all areas and at all levels…a strategy for making women’s as well as men’s concerns and experiences an integral dimension of the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies and programsin all political, economic and societal spheres so that women and men benefit equally and inequality is not perpetuated. The ultimate goal is to achieve gender equality.” UN ECOSOC, 1977
