THE METHOD – Gender Analysis
A gender analysis is the process of doing a systematic examination of the
relationships and interactions between men and women, their access to
and control of resources and opportunities, the constraints they face relative
to each other, and socio-cultural power structures.
Gender analysis can be applied in any context whether in a particular society,
organization, sector, operating environment, or process. Gender analysis
seeks to make the invisible, visible (for example, asking not just “how many
women” but also, “which women”).
Application of gender analysis to decision making means applying a gender
perspective.

WHY IS A GENDER ANALYSIS IMPORTANT TO RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION
Environment
Includes salary, benefits and perceived future prospects influence whether
personnel stay in defense/security institutions. There is a need for continuous
adaptation to the evolving needs and expectations of each new generation of
recruits.
Are there equal opportunities in career development for all groups?
Do promotion criteria reflect values and standards and avoid gender bias?
Are promotion boards familiar with the need for a gender perspective and
gender balance?
Are decision-makers trained in diversity and gender bias – do they understand
the organizational need for diversity and their own likely bias?
Are there dedicated mentoring networks of senior women from diverse
backgrounds?
