Mainstreaming Gender: Revisiting the Transformative Potential of Gender Mainstreaming in Social Work
Grand challenges for social work and society, pp 8-11

Abstract
During the past 20 years, gender mainstreaming has become the strategy among the international development community and transnational feminist movements for achieving gender equality in organizations and societies around the world. Rather than conceptualizing women as a separate category needing special attention or special programs, the aim of gender mainstreaming is to integrate women and intersectional gender equity into all elements of policy design, programming, budgeting, monitoring, and evaluation. Despite its worldwide adoption, gender mainstreaming as a strategy for social transformation remains largely undertheorized and underspecified in the United States. This series of Gender Mainstreaming Inserts, curated by Jill Messing (Arizona State University), aims to fill this gap by illustrating the transformative potential of gender mainstreaming for social work.
