Our training materials can be used to introduce a broad range of audiences and backgrounds to important concepts related to gender and health. Each training course focuses on one of five themes that complement the CORE Gender 101 agenda: Gender Integration, HIV + Sexuality, Safe Motherhood, Gender-Based Violence, and Constructive Male Engagement. The courses are designed to meet the geographic and technical needs of cooperating agencies, USAID Missions, and specific projects. Materials range from basics such as using a shared gender vocabulary and programmatic guidance, to user guides on how to conduct a gender analysis, to exercises for gender trainings. The trainings are geared to be used by anyone and with any audience, even those learning about gender for the first time!
Our popular Gender Integration Continuum framework is an important tool to assess how programs do (or do not) address gender and move them toward more gender-transformative actions. An updated User’s Guide for facilitating training on use of the continuum is available, along with other materials.
Gender data is crucial to make every woman and girl count. Understanding it can answer crucial questions about women’s lives. Donors are putting dollars behind data collection, and big tech players are wondering how to lend their expertise. This focus area, powered by UN Women, highlights how data is being used to inform policy and advocacy to advance gender equality.
A new study conducted by UN Women examines the feasibility of leveraging big data sources, such as Facebook, Twitter, and radio data, to improve the evaluation of gender equality and women's empowerment initiatives.
