Lesson-110809-2

Measuring outputs and outcomes related to gender and equity considerations are increasingly important to the United States Department of Labor, which requires integrating gender and equity-sensitive indicators into monitoring, evaluation, and learning frameworks. Conducting an early gender and equity analysis establishes a baseline for targets. The CAPSA project commissioned multiple needs assessments but did not explicitly look at cultural and social norms contributing to gender inequities and workplace discrimination. While the CAPSA project did engage in activities that address disparities among informal workers, there have been no activities that address gender-based violence and the prevalence of sexual and worker abuse in sectors dominated by female workers. The heightened awareness of gender equity presents opportunities for worker and employer organizations to develop mitigation strategies and accelerate compliance.
