Gender Mainstreaming Consulting

At Corporate Inclusion Ltd, we understand that true inclusion means leaving no one behind. Gender equality must be woven into every part of an organisation’s operations, policies, and culture. Our Gender Mainstreaming Consulting services are designed to help businesses, government agencies, NGOs, and community organisations embed gender perspectives into their programs, services, and decision-making processes—ensuring fair outcomes for people of all genders, including women, men, trans and non-binary individuals.

What Is Gender Mainstreaming?

Gender mainstreaming is a strategic approach that integrates gender considerations into all levels of policy, planning, and practice. Rather than treating gender as an “add-on,” this method ensures that every process is examined through a gender lens to prevent discrimination, promote equity, and create inclusive systems.

This approach aligns with national and international frameworks such as:

• The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)

• The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

• Nigeria’s Gender Equality Act 

• Inclusive practice standards across disability and community sectors

Why Gender Mainstreaming Matters

• Women and girls with disabilities experience higher rates of violence, poverty, and exclusion than their male counterparts.

• Workplaces often unintentionally reinforce gender norms or lack inclusive policies.

• Without gender data, programs and policies can overlook the specific needs of different groups.

Gender equality is essential to human rights, social justice, and sustainable development. Gender mainstreaming helps uncover hidden inequalities and guides actions to close those gaps.
