Abstract:
Almost 15 years ago, governments committed themselves to achieving gender equality and the empowerment of women at the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing (1995). This was to be realised through gender mainstreaming. Fifteen years later, the results of gender mainstreaming seem to be disappointing. However, a comprehensive and systematic study on the possible causes of and solutions for this limited success was lacking. This “Taking Stock” exercise aims to shed light on the current gender mainstreaming policies and practices and provides recommendations for future interventions in this field.
