What is Gender and Development (GAD)?
Gender and Development (GAD) is a development perspective that recognizes the unequal status and situation of women and men in society. It is participatory, empowering, equitable, sustainable, free from violence, respectful of human rights, and supportive of self-determination and the actualization of human potentials.
Gender Mainstreaming refers to the strategy of making the concerns and experiences of women and men an integral dimension of the design, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of policies and programs in social, political, civil, and economic spheres so that women and men benefit equally.
Discrimination Against Women is any gender-based distinction, exclusion, or restriction that impairs or nullifies the recognition, enjoyment, or exercise by women of human rights and fundamental freedoms in political, economic, social, cultural, civil, or any other field.
