A step-by-step online guide from EIGE to help public bodies check whether a law, policy, or programme will affect women and men differently. It also helps them decide what to change if it will. The guide is structured around five stages, starting with clarifying what the policy is trying to achieve and finishing with setting out findings and next steps. Includes examples from a number of EU countries showing how the process works in practice. See also Gender Equality Training | European Institute for Gender Equality which supports staff in carrying out this kind of assessment. Both guides sit within the wider Gender mainstreaming | European Institute for Gender Equality
