THE WAYS TO FORM A COMPLEX STATE GENDER POLICY MECHANISM

DOI: 10.52363/passa-2024.2-6.

Abstract

The conducted research has made it possible to suggest a complex gender equality mechanism encompassing four components: legal, organizational, resource, and educational. The legal component includes a complex of legal norms contained in constitutions and current legislation, in international legal acts that establish the principle of equality between men and women and ensure gender-balanced representation in authorities and management, as well as the practice of implementing these norms.

The organizational, or structural component includes the system of authorities (organizational structures) responsible for the development and implementation of state programs and legislation in all spheres of state activity, which in one way or another affect the lives of women.

The resource component is the availability of financial and material opportunities to implement gender equality policy.

The educational component is the presence of a mandatory standard for providing gender education for people, without which it is impossible to overcome historically rooted gender stereotypes.

The proposed author's model of the structure of the gender equality complex mechanism with four components allows us to reveal the interrelationships and interdependencies between the components, to build up predictive options to design a gender perspective for the development of society.

Keywords: state, state policy, gender, gender equality, state administration, mechanism.
