Mainstreaming gender equality and social inclusion ... Before we make a decision, we have to think about the needs and concerns of different segments of the population (women and men or all diversities) and assess how our decisions are going to affect them Would this support women and men of all diversity equitably ? Would this promote equality? When we design a program or services we have to think on the impacts those will have on different segments of the population (women and men of all diversities), especially people who tend to be forgotten or more silent Would this empower people? Would this protect cultural heritage? When we implement program and services, we have to make sure they are accessible to all segments of the population (women and men of all diversities) and benefit them
