This brochure explains what is gender mainstreaming and why is tis important to be integrated in the projects design and management.

Gender equality between women and men has often been perceived as a cross cutting issue related to the empowerment of women and the reduction of discrimination against them. This is true, but not enough, since gender equality is much more than that.

Gender equality refers to the equal rights, responsibilities and opportunities of women and men and girls and boys. Equality does not mean that women and men will become the same but that women’s and men’s rights, responsibilities and opportunities will not depend on whether they are born male or female.
