Gender mainstreaming’
• Gender must be considered in all health and development goals
• Development programs must strive for gender equality, i.e., equal
life opportunities for men and women
• Development agencies must assess the implications for women
and men of any planned action, and ensure that both women's
and men's concerns and experiences are considered
• ‘Gender mainstreaming’ refers to efforts to ensure that health
care providers know how gender affects health and that they act
to address gender issues
