Gender Equality and Gender Mainstreaming in the EU
“Gender mainstreaming is the integration of the gender perspective into every stage of policy processes – design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation – with a view to promoting equality between women and men. It means assessing how policies impact on the life and position of both women and men – and taking responsibility to re-address them if necessary.” http://ec.europa.eu/justice/gender-equality/tools/index_en.htm
Gender Equality -> Objective! EU Gender Equality Strategy -> a dual approach Gender Mainstreaming -> addressing structures and systems Specific actions -> addressing groups of women or men in order to
tackle discrimination from the past
