Principle of gender mainstreaming

  1. Prioritizing gender equality:
  • This concept of gender equality is not limited to formal equality
  • It includes as well equality de facto, which is a more holistic approach to gender policy in order to tackle the interconnected causes that create an unequal relation between the sexes in all areas of life.

 

  1. Incorporating gender into politics and decision making:
  • There must be evidence that the mainstream political agenda has been reoriented by rethinking and rearticulating policy ends and means from a gender perspective.

 

  1. Shifts in institutional culture:
  • A shift in policy process means that the process “is reorganized so that ordinary actors know how to incorporate a gender perspective”
  • A shift in policy mechanism involves (a) the adoption of horizontal cooperation on gender issues across all policy areas, levels, and departments; and (b) the use of appropriate policy tools and techniques to integrate the gender variable in all policies
  • The range of policy actors participating in the policy-making process is broadened to include, apart from policy-makers and civil servants, gender experts and civil society.
