Parliaments and Gender Equality: Gender mainstreaming in legislatures
The experience accumulated by the UNDP with other institutions is synthesized in the proposal we hereby present today: “Parliaments and Gender Equality. Gender mainstreaming in legislatures”. This contribution has come about as part of the regional project “Knowledge Pro-Equality”, supported by the Spain Fund-UNDP, AECID, “Towards an Inclusive and Integrated Development”.
This document outlines a series of strategic steps or stations for guiding a process that generates legislative changes for the purpose of attaining gender equality. It also shows concrete and flexible paths to attain this goal. The publication provides important suggestions for making progress on this issue, it lends visibility to the achievements of various legislative bodies in the region and encourages others to start out in this challenge of advancing towards a full exercise of the individual and collective rights of both female and male citizens.
