Women's Mobilisation and Gender Mainstreaming
|
As a gender sensitive institution, Intercooperation developed early initiatives in Bangladesh for promoting gender balance in its projects, structures and operational programmes. These include gender audit in the organisation, promotion of gender task forces and focal points at different levels (projects, partner NGOs, communities), orientation of partner staff on gender, female mentors at community level (active women coaching other women of the community for solving problems related to gender).
|
|
 |
One of the greatest achievements has been organising participatory gender analysis at the community level. Plans of action to promote gender issues and decrease discrimination toward women followed. Women became partners in development activities.
