Argentina’s development agenda cannot be thought of without a broad gender perspective. Public policies have distributive effects and affect people differently depending on their gender: gender mainstreaming transforms the design and planning of policies to promote equality between men, women and diversities.
In recent years, areas dedicated to gender mainstreaming have flourished at different levels of government and have the historic opportunity to produce public policy to reduce, combat and make visible inequalities and injustices. On this path, the challenge is to create and strengthen institutional capacities.
What does this mean? Ending the belief that there are no biases in institutions and in policy design and planning and using a gender perspective to highlight inequalities and make proposals to reduce them.
We work to strengthen the mainstreaming of gender in public policy. We produce gender-sensitive evidence for policy design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. We seek to strengthen feminist capacities in the State.
Argentina’s development will be gender-sensitive or it will not be.
