Gender-based interventions or gender mainstreaming is the public policy concept of assessing the different implications for women and men of any planned policy action, including legislation and programmes, in all areas and levels. Mainstreaming essentially offers a pluralistic approach that values the diversity among both men and women. Gender mainstreaming basically allows a hitherto patriarchal society to begin and sustain the entrenchment of gender conscious programs for all from childhood to old age.
EPS KENYA advocates for programs that ensure fairness of treatment for women and men, according to their respective needs. This may include equal treatment or treatment that is different but which is considered equivalent in terms of rights, benefits, obligations and opportunities.
