502 - Gender and Mainstreaming

Today, gender inequality and discrimination continue to show themselves in many areas such as employment, education, political and social participation. We observe that many gains achieved as a result of long struggles around the world are either under threat or there are great difficulties in their implementation.

Under these conditions, the historical and current struggle of feminist organizations and LGBTI+ organizations is of great importance for the defense and implementation of gender equality. However, we all live together in a social structure in which gender inequality plays a fundamental role and policies, programs and practices affect women, men and LGBTI+ individuals in different and unequal ways. The consequences of gender inequality particularly affect the work of civil society organizations working with vulnerable groups in civil society.

The title 502-Gender Equality and Mainstreaming was designed based on this point. In this respect, it includes concrete suggestions for us to take steps to make equality real and sustainable in the inner workings of our own organizations, in the projects and programs we carry out, by considering gender as a category that intersects with other social inequalities.
