More than Gender• Gender is not the only social category or position
that can create barriers & inequalities.
• Women & men have diverse identities & positions, based on age, ethnicity, class, geography, sexuality, ability etc.
• People are socially constructed along the gender spectrum, but also according to their age, ethnic background, citizenship status, income & education level, among many other things.
• Public policy approaches are increasingly taking this into account.

What about Diversity?• Diversity: recognizing & respecting individuals’
characteristics; what makes them distinct from others, including age, culture, ethnicity, skills, gender, sexual orientation, religion, family status, abilities, talents & perspectives (Provincial Civil Service Diversity Strategy, 2009)
• Intersectionality: a way to understand how multiple identities e.g., gender, ethnicity, class, age, location etc., intersect to construct individuals’ lived experiences and systemic barriers

into account population diversity;
• Identifying policy challenges & opportunities from different perspectives;
• Developing policy options based on these different perspectives & needs;
• Implementing, monitoring & evaluating programs and policies by assessing their impact upon and effectiveness for women, men and diverse groups.
