Gender and Development Approach

The Gender and Development (GAD) approach focuses on understanding and addressing how gender roles and inequalities affect people's opportunities and well-being. It recognizes that social, cultural, and economic factors shape experiences differently for men and women. GAD aims to promote fairness by ensuring both genders have equal access to resources, rights, and decision-making power. Rather than treating everyone the same, it emphasizes transforming social norms and structures that create disparities, fostering sustainable development where all individuals can thrive regardless of gender.
