Gender Mainstreaming: Where There is a Will There is a Way

Abstract

Gender Mainstreaming in an institution starts with the will of the higher authorities of an organization. Available studies show that when there is a lack of determination regarding implementing gender equality practices and gender mainstreaming strategies, the whole mechanism gets hampered.  For this study, primary data in the form of interviews and secondary data from the university websites were collected. Data has been analyzed with the help of qualitative data analysis software NVIVO. The finding is that top authorities of the sample universities have a firm intention for gender mainstreaming.
