Basic Gender Concepts

• Sex
• Refers to the biological differences social
  relations
• The sex of a person is
• -Biologically defined
• -Determined by birth
• -Universal

4

• Gender
• Refers to the social differences relations
  between men and women. A persons gender is
  learned through socialization and is heavily
  influenced by the culture of the society
  concerned.
• Gender
• -is socially constructed and is therefore
  learned and can be changed
• -Differs and varies within and across cultures
  over time
• -results in different roles, responsibilities,
  opportunities, needs constraints for women,
  men, boys girls

5

• Gender Mainstreaming
• The concept of bringing gender issues into the
  mainstream of society was clearly established as
  a global strategy for promoting gender equality
  in the platform for action adopted at the United
  Nations Fourth World Conference on women, in
  Beijing in 1995. It highlighted the necessity to
  ensure that gender equality is a primary goal in
  all areas of societal development.

6

• Mainstreaming a gender perspective is the
  process of assessing implications for men women
  in any planned action, including legislation,
  policies or programmes, in any area and at all
  levels
• It is a strategy for making the concerns
  experiences of women as well as men as integral
  part of design, implementation, monitoring and
  evaluation of policies programmes in all
  political, economic social spheres, so that
  women mean benefit equally inequality is not
  perpetuated.

7

• The ultimate goal of mainstreaming is to achieve
  gender equality.
• Mainstreaming is not about adding a woman
  component or even a gender equality component
  into an existing activity. It goes beyond
  increasing womens participation it means
  bringing the experience, knowledge, and interest
  of men and women to bear on the development
  agenda. It may require changes in goals,
  strategies actions so that both women men can
  influence, participate in benefit from
  development process.

8
OVERALL,

• The goal of mainstreaming gender equality, is
  the transformation of unequal social and
  institutional structures into equal and just
  structures for both men and women

9

• Gender Equality
• Refers to the norms, values, attitudes
  perceptions required to attain equal status
  between men women without neutralizing the
  difference between men women
• It refers to the equal rights,
  responsibilities, opportunities of men women,
  boys girls. Gender equality is not just a
  womens issue it concerns men as well.

10

• Equality does not mean that men women will
  become the same, but that men womens rights,
  responsibilities opportunities will not depend
  on whether they are born male or female. Equality
  between men women is both a human rights issue
  a precondition for sustainable people-centered
  development.
• ALSO ALLOWS FOR MEN AND WOMEN TO HAVE DIFFERENT
  EXPERIENCES AND INTEGRATE THEM INTO POLITICAL,
  ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL ASPECTS OF LIFE

11

• Gender Balance
• Refers to the participation of an equal number
  of men women within an activity, an
  organization

12
UNMIK Gender Vision

• Gender Mainstreaming should be promoted both
  because it is a matter of equality human rights
  and because it provides an important means of
  ensuring that development goals are achieved in
  an effective, sustainable people-centered
  manner
• The strong focus on the advancement of women
  gender equality resulted into the 189 member
  states expressing commitments in very strong
  explicit inter-governmental mandates
• To implement gender mainstreaming within UNMIK
  (KPS CIVPOL), consider the realities of men
  women and the potential impacts of planned
  activities on them, prior to making decisions on
  goals, strategies, actions resource allocations
• Gender Mainstreaming is not an end in itself but
  provides an approach strategy for achieving
  gender equality

13
The Mandate

• The mandate is reinforced within the U.N system
  through important documents like
• a. The Economic Social Council (ECOSOC) agreed
  conclusions 1997/2 which provide principles for
  gender mainstreaming
• b. The Secretary Generals communication on
  gender mainstreaming on 13 October 1997 providing
  more concrete directives to heads of all U.N
  entities
• c. The outcome of the 23rd special session of
  the General Assembly

14

• Points of emphasis within the mandate
• Responsibility for implementing the mainstreaming
  strategy is system wide rest t the highest
  levels within the agencies, departments, funds
  and commission and adequate accountability
  mechanisms for mentoring progress need to be
  established
• Specific strategies should be formulated for
  gender mainstreaming establishing priorities
• The initial definition of issues/problems across
  all areas of activity should be done in such a
  manner that gender differences and disparities
  could be diagnosed. Assumptions that
  issues/problems are neutral from gender equality
  perspective should never be made. Gender analysis
  should always be carried out, separately or as
  part of existing analyses.
• Analytical reports recommendations on policy or
  operational issues within each area of
  responsibility should take gender differences
  disparity into account

15

• Gender perspectives gender equality issues
  should be announced in medium term plans
  program budgets
• Gender mainstreaming requires that efforts are to
  include womens equitable participation at all
  levels of decision making
• Systematic use of gender analysis,
  sex-desegregations of data and commissioning of
  sector specific gender studies is required
• A gender programme training should be provided to
  all personnel at headquarters and in the field,
  with appropriate follow up and evaluations
• Mainstreaming does not replace the need for
  targeted, women specific activities nor does it
  do away with the need for gender units or focal
  points.
• Clear political will allocation of adequate
  resources for mainstreaming are important for the
  transformation of the concept to reality

16
Strategy and Mandate

• Gender mainstreaming as a global strategy for
  gender will still have considerable work to do
  before gender perspectives are routinely
  incorporated into all areas of development.
• Trying to bring the realities of both men and
  women-their contributions, perspectives, needs
  priorities- to bear on data collection, analyses
  and policy development, planning, implementation
  monitoring in all areas requires specific
  knowledge and capacity
• There may be a need for changes in knowledge on
  gender issues and in methods and approaches
• Strategy.
• the process of assessing the implications for
  women and men of any planned action, including
  legislations, policies or programmes, in all
  areas and in all levels. It is a strategy for
  making women as well as mens concerns and
  experiences an integral dimension of the design,
  implementation, monitoring, evaluation of
  policies and programmes in all political,
  economic and social spheres so that women men
  benefit equally is not perpetuated. The
  ultimate goal is to achieve gender equality.
