Gender Mainstreaming - Objectives

Gender mainstreaming aims to create a gender-sensitive society with equal opportunities and responsibilities shared by women and men according to their individual skills, needs, and desires. It seeks to make equality a natural element of all policies and measures by considering the social, ethnic, and age differences between women and men rather than treating them as uniform groups. General equality objectives include equal career and political opportunities for women, a fair distribution of paid and unpaid work, equal pay allowing independent living, and the same personal freedoms and protections against aggression for both women and men.

Gender mainstreaming - objectives

Gender mainstreaming wants to contribute


towards a gender-sensitive society where
solidarity, opportunities and responsibilities are
shared by women and men in equal measure.
Everyone is to enjoy the life they determine in
accordance with their individual skills, their
needs and their desires.
Once this is achieved equality, instead of being
treated as an aside, will be a natural element of
all processes and measures. Women and men will
no longer be seen as a uniform group of human beings, but will have their social, ethnic and age
differences taken into account.
General equality objectives include:
• Equal career opportunities for women and men
• Fair distribution of unpaid and paid work among women and men, wages and salaries that
women and men can live on independently
• Equality of women and men with regard to political representation and participation
• Enhancement of gender roles and standards for women and men, elimination of restricting
standards
• Same personal freedoms for women and men, protection against all forms of aggression
Identifying users of public services and their different expectations increases the chances for
politicians and administration staff to really address people’s concerns. It allows them to reconcile
public services and projects with citizens’ needs, while raising planning accuracy, quality and
success of services.
