1. Gender sensitive indicators Turin 12 February 2014

2. Gender sensitive indicators “What gets measured, matters.” Indicators are yardsticks of change – tools to measure achievements against set targets. Gender sensitive indicators track gender related changes over time – and help us to measure whether gender equality is being achieved, or impeded, by our project interventions. Enables better planning and actions, and strengthens accountability and reporting. Including gender-sensitive targets, indicators and baselines is key even for outcomes and outputs that are not gender sensitive. Helps stimulate change through data collection processes.

3. Gender sensitive indicators Use both quantitative and qualitative indicators. Quantitative indicators: Wherever possible, disaggregate all indicators. Eg. mortality rates in disasters. Include gender specific quantitative indicators. Eg. No of men and women participating/benefiting from project. Women’s wages, working hours, as a proportion of men’s. Qualitative indicators: Including perceptions, judgements and opinions. Eg satisfaction levels with response of police and courts to domestic violence cases. Use existing, regularly collected data sources wherever possible. Existing conventions, laws and strategies are also useful.

8. CEDAW Indicators Indicators for monitoring CEDAW implementation have also been developed and are very useful for the output level: For example, for article 1 (non-discrimination), these might include Specific articles in the constitution that provide for quality and prevent discrimination on the basis of sex or gender, covering in scope both discrimination in objective or purpose, and discrimination in effect or result. Constitutional provisions that provide for gender equality in the private non-state sector and prevent discrimination of objective or purpose and discrimination of effect or result, by non=state actions. The existence of equal opportunities legislation covering the public and private sectors Constitutional provisions or legislation legalising the introduction of affirmative active or temporary special measures to realise de facto and de jure equality. Penal codes or special legislation such as domestic violence legislation and torture acts that criminalise all forms of violence against women, with adequate deterrent punishments. Constitutional provisions that recognise torture and other forms of violence as an infringement of fundamental human rights Constitutional and legal provisions on access to legal services. http://www.unwomen-eseasia.org/projects/Cedaw/docs/CEDAW_Indicators.pdf
