UPSC CDS GS Economy Questions Part 2

Gender Mainstreaming (GM) was established as a major globalstrategy for the promotion of gender equality in the Beijing Platform for Action from the Fourth United Nations World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995. GM tries, among others, to ascertain a gender equality perspective across all policy areas.
