Gender

All resources on gender equality and social inclusion; including economic empowerment, health, human rights, social protection and voice and accountability. HEART’s Gender expertise provides a comprehensive insight into gender as a cross-cutting issue across many other domains in development (health, education, governance, WASH and nutrition), including access to services and opportunities, and voice, choice, and control, the goal being to mainstream gender approaches and drive progress towards global gender equality and women’s empowerment.
