Planning and Gender
A gender perspective is aware of the socio-cultural differences between women and men in terms of the functions they perform in different societies. It addresses the functions and needs of both women and men – not just those of women.
This is a gender perspective, not a feminine perspective. Attention to the sociocultural differences between women and men means recognizing the fact that in almost every human society – Western or non-Western, developed or developing, modern or traditional – social functions are not distributed equally between women and men.
This collection of articles reflects, above all, the goal of drawing attention to various aspects, approaches, and events that emphasize the need to adopt a gender-based perspective in order to strive to develop planning policy (as well as social, economic, and cultural policy) that will reflect the different needs of men and women, and thereby ensure the development of policy that addresses the needs of different populations.
