gender mainstreaming
Definition
- Gender mainstreaming has become the most common label used by academics and practitioners to describe any institutional strategy employed to incorporate gender issues into institutional practices, culture, and outcomes. As a result of its varying and widespread usage, however, there is no consensus or clarity about what gender mainstreaming is, what its potential is, or indeed whether efforts to implement gender mainstreaming have been a success or failure to date.
