Quick Guide: Gender mainstreaming
============ ========= ========= =
Gender mainstreaming has proven challenging to implement effectively - what can we learn from differing views, experiences and approaches? The following resources are from a selection which have been summarised and included in the Siyanda database:
- Mainstreaming Gender in Social Protection for the Informal Economy, Kabeer, N., January 2008
How can the money spent on social protection measures make more of a difference to the lives of women workers? This book explains how the need for social protection is also shaped by the gender-related constraints that limit women's ability to overcome labour market disadvantages through their own efforts.

- Gender Mainstreaming In Practice: A Toolkit, 3rd Edition 2007 (in English and Russian), Niemanis, A., January 2007

- Mainstreaming Gender or "Streaming" Gender Away: Feminists Marooned in the Development Business, Mukhopadhyay, M., October 2004
This paper argues that gender mainstreaming has often resulted in gender equality work becoming very technical - focused on developing frameworks, planning tools and checklists to integrate gender equality concerns into development work rather than pursuing more political goals concerned with transforming unequal power relations between women and men.
