Sex identifies the biological difference between men and women.
It therefore refers not to men and women but to the relationship between them, and the way this is socially constructed, gender relations are contextually specific and often change in response to altering circumstances. Refers to a systematic way of looking at the different impacts of development on women and men. As development programmes have actively sought to reach women, we have learned that gender has a lot to do with what work we do, how much time we have to do it, and how much money we have to do it with. Gender analysis requires separating data by sex, and understanding how labour is divided and valued. Person, policy, or an institution that does not recognize that gender is an essential determinant of the life choices available to us in society.
