Gender mainstreaming refers to the process of incorporating a gender perspective into policies, programs, and actions in order to promote gender equality and respect for women's and men's rights. It is an approach that aims to ensure that the needs, interests, and experiences of both women and men are considered and addressed in all aspects of society. Gender mainstreaming involves analyzing the differential impact of policies and programs on women and men, and taking steps to address any existing gender inequalities and discrimination. This can involve measures such as collecting sex-disaggregated data, conducting gender analysis, developing gender-sensitive indicators, and promoting gender-responsive budgeting. The goal of gender mainstreaming is to create a more equitable and inclusive society where women and men have equal opportunities and access to resources, services, and decision-making processes.
