Gender Mainstreaming Guideline Report

DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION

Gender equality (GE) and women’s empowerment (WE) are defined as cross-cutting themes for the
Safe Food for Growth Project (hereinafter referred to as “SAFEGRO”). As outlined in the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs), gender inequality and social exclusion are closely linked to society,
economy, and welfare. Efforts to address gender inequality and social exclusion lead to long-term and
sustainable change. Therefore, a GEWE approach is essential to the success of SAFEGRO Project.
The GEWE approach examines the power relationships that are unequal and the inequalities that
individuals experience because of their social identities and how these identities intersect to create
experiences of vulnerability and social exclusion. It focuses on actions that address unequal power
relationships, reducing disparities, and working towards ensuring rights, responsibilities, opportunities,
and respect for all individuals.
