What is GAD?
- GAD is about both what men and women do
- Looks at the impact of development on both men and women, and their impact on development
- Seeks to see that both men and women participate and benefit equally from development
- Recognizes that women may be involved in development, but may not necessarily benefit
- Seeks to understand the root causes of gender inequality and addresses itself to these causes
- Emphasizes equality of benefit and control
- Recognizes the need to look at equity of impact
- Not concerned with women per se, but with social construction of gender and assignment of specific rights, roles reponsibilbities and expectations to women and men
- Addresses the inter-relationship between gender roles, access to and control of resources and power
