Abstract
Gender-transformative approaches are critical to addressing the underlying root causes of gender inequality. And a clear understanding of gender terms is particularly important in crisis and conflict settings – such as in Myanmar – where gender inequality is often exacerbated.
This brief explains key concepts related to gender-transformative approaches, accompanied by examples to support organizations in Myanmar to apply them more confidently in their Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) programming.
