The Ordinance also requires periodic reports of our progress. This is the fourth report of the Task Force. The first analysis proved to be extremely time intensive. Since the gender analysis requires departments to learn new ways of thinking, this is a process that cannot be rushed. We have extended the time period for each department to complete the analysis and incorporated many more discussion and trainings into the process.
Departments evaluate the data from the point of view of human rights with a gender perspective.
Departments develop specific ways to ensure the human rights of women and girls. Departments create steps for implementing recommendations. The Task Force monitors progress. Each department has undergone an orientation session, as well as a training on focus groups and data collection. Three departments have been trained on human rights and been given technical assistance and guidelines to assist them in the gender analysis process.
