Gender equality
Welcome to the Gender Equality section.
Despite progress made over the past thirty years, gender inequalities remain pervasive in conflict affected, transitional, developing and developed countries.
Gender equality is a concept focused on enabling men, women, boys and girls to have equal access to health and education, economic and political resources and opportunities as well as a safe living environment. Gender inequality occurs when men, women, boys and/or girls have limited or no access to services and resources, live in fear of violence, and/or are unable to control their own destinies due to perceived gender differences and discrimination between and amongst males and females.
Rich and practical resources can be found below on international agreements, policies and approaches, the program management cycle, gender-based violence and gender equality in conflict and fragile states.
