Even when policies seem gender-neutral they can still affect men and women differently. Soon laws will mean that all public bodies in every area, from health and education to transport, will have a new responsibility to demonstrate that they are treating men and women equally. The law is outcome-focused rather than process- driven. The test of fairness will be the measurement of the experience of men and women and the amount of progress towards stated improvements.
