Resource content

A standalone methods page within EIGE’s Gender Mainstreaming Platform explaining what gender analysis is and which frameworks are available to apply it in practice. Covers multiple approaches including the 4R method (representation, resources, realia, realisation), the Harvard Framework, and participatory processes. Explains when and how each framework is used. A distinct, more focused entry point than the broader EIGE Gender Mainstreaming Platform (Resource 6 in the existing tracker).
