Objectives
Definitions: Sex and Gender• SEX is the biological difference between men and
women. Sex differences are concerned with men’s and women’s bodies. Sexual differences are the same throughout the human race.
• GENDER refers to the socially given attributes, roles, activities, and responsibilities connected to being a female or a male in a given society. These are learned, changeable over time, and have wide variations within and between cultures and should be analyzed with other socio-economic variables.
Implications of Gender Constraints
• “Gender constraints” significantly reduce the productivity of both the rural sector and the entire national economy
• Misunderstanding of gender differences leads to inadequate planning and design of projects and the perpetuation of gender inequalities and diminished returns on investments
What is “Gender Analysis”?
“Processes that make visible the varied roles women, men, girls and boys play in the family, in the community, and in economic, legal and political structures”
Gender Analysis
Looks at how power relations within the household inter-relate with those at community, market, national or international level.
Questions in gender analysis:
* Who does what? When? Where?
* Who has what?
* Who decides and how?
* Who gains? Who loses?
Practical Gender Needs
* A response to short-term, immediately perceived needs-mainly arising from and reinforcing
particular women’s reproductive and productive role
* Do not challenge the subordinate position of women (ex. Clean water, health care, housing food provision)
Women’s needs differ from men’s needs because of their different tasks and responsibilities
Strategic Gender Needs* Response to long-term needs arising from women’s subordinate position-challenges the nature of the gendered relationship between women and men
* Women involved as agents of change
* Leads to a transformation of gender division of labor for all women (Ex. Access to resources, land, credit, etc.; measures against mail violence; control over own body)
Women’s needs differ from men’s needs because of their different positions in society
“Gender Mainstreaming”
“It is a strategy for making the concerns and experiences of women as well as of men an integral
part of the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies and programs in all political, economic and societal spheres, so that
women and men benefit equally, and inequality is not perpetuated. The ultimate goal of mainstreaming
is to achieve gender equality.”
Gender analysis provides a lens through which differences can explored and assessed between the roles that women and men play, the varying levels of power they hold, their differing needs, constraints and opportunities and the impact of these differences on their lives.
Important:• Participation/representation of men & women• Consideration of gendered (practical/strategic) needs based on
concerns and experiences/constraints• Gender-responsive results (accommodative/transformative)• Gender disaggregated data – quantitative and “qualitative”
(collection & means of verification)
Gender accommodating approaches recognize and respond to the specific (practical) needs and realities of men and women based on their existing roles and responsibilities (often means women empowerment or capacity building).
Gender transformative approaches aim to enhance how women are integrated into development (strategic needs), through improving their access to resources and technologies and the like, while also acting explicitly to change gender norms and relations in order to promote more equitable relationships between men and women and a more socially enabling environment.
Accommodating or transforming?
Equity and equality are two strategies we can use in an effort to produce fairness. Equity is giving everyone what they need to be successful. Equality is treating everyone
the same. Equality aims to promote fairness, but it can only work if everyone starts from the same place and needs the
same help. That’s why affirmative action is sometimes needed.
