Transversalización del enfoque de género y políticas públicas

by Carmen Cavero -

Hablar de género en la gestión pública en muchos de nuestros países nos lleva a pensar en la importancia de trabajar de manera transversalizar el tema de género en los diversos procesos que se desarrollan en la gestión de la política pública.

En en el Perú, hemos logrado contar con una Política Nacional Género (2019) con lineamientos que precisan la incorporación del enfoque de género en los distintos sectores de gobierno.  Esto nos está permitiendo avanzar en lo público. Actualmente desde mi intervención como consultora estoy trabajando un proceso de capacitación para operadores de justicia que nos permita no solo sensibilizar sino también fortalecer las capacidades de los profesionales para brindar servicios con pertinencia y calidad a las mujeres víctimas de violencia y a las y los integrantes de la familia.

La equidad de género es la capacidad de una sociedad

by Maresa Sujey Lazo Lainez -

La equidad de género es la capacidad de una sociedad de ser equitativa y justa en el trato de hombres y mujeres en los ámbitos social, cultural y político. La equidad de género es responsabilidad del Estado, de las instituciones y de la sociedad en su conjunto. Nuestro país está comprometido con avanzar en la igualdad de género. Para ello, identifica y visibiliza las barreras, brechas e inequidades que se presentan entre hombres y mujeres, generando propuestas de acción para eliminarlas. Odepa entrega información, noticias y datos útiles de interés para promover la equidad de género.
