INEE Pocket Guide to Gender

INEE’s Gender Task Team is pleased to announce the publication of the Pocket Guide to Gender!

With the input of many INEE members, the Task Team has developed this tool as a quick reference guide to help practitioners make sure that education as part of emergency preparedness, response and recovery is gender-responsive and meets the rights and needs of all girls and boys, women and men affected by crisis.

The INEE Pocket Guide to Gender outlines useful principles for a gender-responsive approach to guide all education programming, and provides responses to some of the most common misconceptions and arguments against gender mainstreaming in the education sector. It then gives concrete strategies and actions for putting gender equality into practice in the major domains of education. Finally, key gender terms and a selection of resources are listed at the end of the Guide.

The INEE Pocket Guide to Gender complements the INEE Minimum Standards for Education and the IASC Gender Handbook , and is intended for anyone working to provide, manage, or support education services as part of emergency preparedness, response or recovery.
