Gender Mainstreaming Reference Kit

Authors: Abou Habib,L.
Produced by: Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Network (2008)

The Gender Mainstreaming Reference Kit is intended to serve as a  
resource document for assisting the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights  
Network (EMHRN) and its member organisations, as well as generalist  
human rights organisations, women's rights organisations and other  
civil society groups, in mainstreaming gender in their policies,  
programmes and interventions.

Background information, tools, methods and exercises are provided to  
discuss the key concepts of gender and gender mainstreaming. The  
exercises provided allow participants to undertake an analysis of the  
causes and manifestations of gender inequality within their specific  
contexts.

The toolkit includes sections on:
What is gender mainstreaming? Overview of definitions and concepts
Mainstreaming gender: conditions and entry points
Mainstreaming techniques and tools
Overview of steps and processes
Proposed handouts
Proposed training model
A special focus is given to the Middle East and North Africa (MENA)  
region, however the toolkit can be applied in other contexts.
