5. Role of Gender and Development (GAD) in society
- is a government-created program that aims to
promote women's empowerment and ensure their full
participation in society.
GAD focuses on:
- The socially constructed differences between men and
women.
- The need to challenge existing gender roles and
relations.
- The creation and effects of class differences on
development.
6. GAD's strategy is Gender Mainstreaming, which aims
to make women's and men's concerns and
experiences an integral part of the design,
implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of
policies, programs, and projects.
Gender roles are how people are expected to act,
speak, dress, groom, and conduct themselves based
on their assigned sex. For example, women are
generally expected to dress in typically feminine ways
and be polite, accommodating, and nurturing. Men's
gender roles include characteristics such as
dominance, assertiveness, and strength.
11. Gender refers to the socially
constructed characteristics of
women and men.
Gender refers to the socially
constructed roles, behaviours,
expressions and identities of girls,
women, boys, men, and gender
diverse people.

• Improve health outcomes.
• Increase economic growth.
• Reduce poverty.
• Break down gender stereotypes.
• Improve the skills of women and
girls.
• Reduce gender-based violence and
discrimination.
14. What is the importance of understanding gender and
development in our society?
Instead of categorising people
as "households" or "the poor" where you make
assumptions about the people as one family
unit, a gender analysis helps us to take a much
closer look at the realities people face. It
separates analysis of men and women - their
problems, needs and access to power and
resources.
15. GENDER EQUITY
— Means giving more opportunities to
those who have less and those who
are historically and socially
disadvantaged based on their needs
for them to operate on a level playing
field. “Focusing on the needs of
women does not mean discriminating
against men or putting them at a
disadvantage”
16. WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT
— Is a goal of and an essential process for women’s
advancement.
— Is a process and condition by which women
mobilize to understand, identify, and overcome
gender discrimination and achieve equality.
— Women become agents of development and not
just beneficiaries.
— A kind of participation in development that
enables women to make decisions based on their
own views and perspective.
— To empower women, access to information,
training, technology, market, and credit is necessary.
17. GENDER MAINSTREAMING
— Is the Philippine government’s strategy
for making agencies work for women’s
empowerment and gender equality.
— It is the process of analyzing existing
development paradigms, practices, and
goals; assessing the implications for women
and men of existing legislation policies,
programs, projects, and mechanisms.
