The key points made are: 1) Gender mainstreaming is a strategy for pursuing gender equality and women's empowerment across all sectors and levels. 2) It involves assessing policies, programs and projects for their impacts on women and men. 3) Mainstreaming a gender perspective transforms organizations from being gender-blind to gender-responsive.
