    Gender mainstreaming aims to make the concerns and experiences of both women and men an integral part of policy design, implementation, and evaluation across all areas of government and society. However, many organizations that claim to practice gender mainstreaming do not fully integrate it in their programs. As a result, gender mainstreaming has become more of a politically correct term than an actual process that creates change or equality between the sexes. This document calls for gender mainstreaming to be viewed as a complex process that considers all social and political factors, rather than a series of simple technical steps.

    The Office of special adviser on gender issues to the United Nations (OSAGI, 1997) says that

    "gender mainstreaming is a strategy for making women's and men's concerns and experiences an

    integral part of the design, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of policies and programs

    in all political, economic, and social spheres." This is also to make sure that women and men get

    the same benefits and that inequality doesn't get worse." This is a change from the WID

    approach. But many agencies and groups that talk about "mainstreaming gender" don't really do

    that in all of their programs. As a result, it seems like "mainstreaming gender" has become just

    another politically correct term that is used even though it doesn't change much. More and more

    people are realizing that equality between men and women and "mainstreaming" have been

    oversold. This has made supporting equal rights for men and women into a series of technical

    steps. This simplicity has made the idea less political, and the systems theory used in this study

    showed the many complicated factors that need to be taken into account to make gender

    mainstreaming a whole process.
