Abstract

VAZQUEZ-GARCIA, Verónica. Gender mainstreaming and water: the National Water Program. Convergencia [online]. 2011, vol.18, n.56, pp.111-132. ISSN 2448-5799.

Gender mainstreaming has become the major tool for governments to promote gender equality since 1995 Beijing Conference. This paper reviews the achievements of GM in Mexican environmental policy through the analysis of two programs operated by SEMARNAT, Equidad de Género, Medio Ambiente y Sustentabilidad program (2002-2006), Hacia la Igualdad de Género y la Sustentabilidad Ambiental program (2007-2012), and Programa Nacional Hídrico (2007-2012). Drawing on this analysis, the paper makes some recommendations to mainstream gender in the design and implementation of the country's water policy.

Keywords : gender; public policy; water; Mexico.
