are included in the development agenda

To anticipate impacts of policies/programs/


services on both women and men

planning process that will help in:
• Identifying gaps or differences between women and men,
girls and boys, taking into consideration social diversity
such as age, ethnicity, race, class, education, ability,
SOGIE and other forms of diversity

• Understanding why these gaps exist and persist

• Choosing what actions to take to reduce or eliminate gaps

The gender issue could be client-focused or organization-
focused ;

A client-focused gender issue refers to concerns arising


from the unequal status of women and men stakeholders
of a particular organization including the extent of their
disparity over benefits from and contribution to a
policy/program and/or project .

Manifestations of Gender Bias
•Multiple burden - work at home, in the workplace and in the
community, multiple tasking or joint work
•Marginalization - limited opportunities for employment and
career advancement, “last in first out ”
•Stereotyping – sexist childrearing, gendered occupational
segregation and responsibilities
•Subordination - few women in decision-making, less
considered for leadership position

•Violence against women - Physical, verbal,


National GAD Resource Program
psychological, economic, sexual, etc. in private and
Philippine Commission on Women
public spaces including virtual/online
MGB -Negative effects on personhood
Women develop low self-esteem, no self-confidence

No control over their bodies

Women set low expectations of themselves, will not want to


achieve more, will not want to outshine her partner/spouse

Will feel that without a man, she is nothing (pressures for


women to get married, when married – must keep her man at
all costs)

joblessness , inflation: women bear the brunt more because
they are in charge of household budgeting
• Closure of establishments in wholesale and retail, personal
services, accommodation and hospitality services where
women are dominantly employed
• Women lose jobs at higher rate than men
• Women hired at lower rate than men

to reporting and services are more constrained
• 70% of health front liners are women hence more
exposed to risks and discrimination

• The identification of the activities, and time spent is crucial because it defines men’s and
women’s socio-economic opportunities, constraints and incentives.

• If little or no information is readily available on the gender division of labour within the target
population, it is often useful to draw up an activity profile for men and women.

membership in decision-making bodies and leadership in organizations
- making women equal with men - are agents actively involved in the
development process

Philippine Commission on Women
Some results of GA
• Gender issues (client and organizational) are identified (use
MGB, GEWEF, gender roles, access to and control of
resources, constraints, benefits, opportunities, capabilities)
• Prioritize gender issues to be addressed (within the mandate)
– integrate results in project design/proposal based on the
elements of HGDG design checklists - for attribution to GAD
budget
• Some gender issues can also be included in the GAD agenda
• Work with others to address gender issues : LGUs, other
agencies, NGO’s, donors, private sector (CSR), etc.
National GAD Resource Program
Philippine Commission on Women
Recommendations on the following:
• how to transform gender division of labor
• how to enhance equal access to resources by women
and contribute to strengthened and sustainable
project results (equity, efficiency)
• how to address women’s PGN and SGN (
• how to maximize opportunities, benefits, capabilities
• how to address constraints
