This guide provides an introduction on how you can plan, organise and follow up the work with gender mainstreaming in your organisation. Gender mainstreaming is a political strategy to achieve an equal society. The strategy is about working for an equal distribution of power and resources and more equal opportunities for women, men, girls and boys. In Sweden, all public actors are tasked with contributing to this work.
By working with gender mainstreaming, an organisation can see how inequality is expressed and thus actively counteract and prevent equality problems both in the organisation and in society.
In order for the work to lead to results and effects, it needs to take place as part of the organisation's main activities, tasks and processes. Therefore, gender equality perspectives need to be included in all decisions, at all levels and in all stages of the operational process by the actors who participate in decision-making.
This section states the prerequisites for successful work with gender mainstreaming. It also explains the links between gender mainstreaming, active measures and men's violence against women.
In this step, you identify and prioritise gender inequality based on your roles and assignments. The section also focuses on organisation planning.
Here you get support for integrating a gender equality perspective in the follow-up and how you can follow up the development in relation to the goals you are working to achieve.
The section focuses on following up and evaluating the results of the operation in relation to Sweden's gender equality policy sub-goals. A follow-up needs to strive to make visible how unequal norms, structures and values have changed.
