We use gender analyses across sectors to examine the roles, rights, and responsibilities of men and women, as well as the obstacles, opportunities, and choices available in different contexts. Our programs are designed with the understanding that women and men may experience development issues differently: Women and men have different roles within their communities that are shaped by social, cultural, religious, and economic factors. As a result, we know that a ‘one-size fits all’ approach to development may not truly allow for the whole community to participate in and benefit from development activities. Our gender equality work recognizes this and ensures our services are offered in a multitude of ways so that everyone can benefit from our work.
