2 Examples:
2.1 - Access to services and facilities in Ireland (3)
This is the basis for mainstreaming equality. Underlying the concept of mainstreaming is recognition of the fact that not all groups or individuals in a society have the same ease in accessing opportunities. In order for all groups of people to be equally able to access the services and facilities, mainstream policies need to take account of the different ability of different groups to benefit, and plan for this. In this case we are concerned about the ability of women and men to access services and facilities provided by mainstream policies. A few statistics illustrate that women and men do not access services and facilities to the same extent or in the same way. To take a quick example, 63% of Irish men have a full driving licence, compared to 46% of Irish women . This difference is most significant in urban areas, and means women are more reliant on public transport than men, so are likely to access it more. In addition 73% of men are in the labour force compared to 50% of women. So women are more likely than men to be travelling to non-work facilities, such as shops, schools, health centres, and childcare facilities. Putting a gender equality perspective in mainstream transport policies thus means considering public transport provision not to just to work, but also to these other facilities to which women are more likely than men to travel, and taking these issues into account as policy is developed and implemented...

3 Main definitions:
(3a)European Commision
Gender mainstreaming is the systematic integration of the respective situations, priorities and needs of women and men in all policies and with a view to promoting equality between women and men and mobilising all general policies and measures specifically for the purpose of achieving equality by actively and openly taking into account, at the planning stage, their effects on the respective situations of women and men in implementation, monitoring and evaluation. (Commission Communication COM (96) 67 final of 21/02/96). 100 words for equality
(3b) United Nations "Mainstreaming a gender perspective is the process of assessing the implications for women and men of any planned action, including legislation, policies or programmes, in all areas and at all levels. It is a strategy for making women's as well as men's concerns and experiences an integral dimension of the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies and programmes in all political, economic and societal spheres so that women and men benefit equally and inequality is not perpetuated.The ultimate goal is to achieve gender equality."
(UN General Assembly A/52/3 18 September 1997)
(3c) Council of Europe (COE)..."Gender mainstreaming, as a new concept, appeared for the first time in international texts after the United Nations Third World Conference on Women (Nairobi, 1985), in relation to the debate within the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) on the role of women in development."..."At the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women (Beijing, 1995), the strategy of gender mainstreaming was explicitly endorsed by the Platform for Action which was adopted at the end of the Conference. The Platform for Action calls for the promotion of the policy of gender mainstreaming, repeatedly stating that "governments and other actors should promote an active and visible policy of mainstreaming a gender perspective in all policies and programmes, so that, before decisions are taken, an analysis is made of the effects on women and men, respectively"...
"Gender mainstreaming is the (re)organisation, improvement, development and evaluation of policy processes, so that a gender equality perspective is incorporated in all policies at all levels and at all stages, by the actors normally involved in policy-making. " COE EG-S-MS(1998)2rev

Gender in Local Government: A Sourcebook for Trainers (EN-PT- bientôt en FR)Numerous case studies illustrate what local governments can do to strengthen gender mainstreaming in their work. Reflection questions, training exercises and guidelines for conducting gender trainings will help trainers to develop successful trainings. It is hoped that it will provide valuable insights and resources for trainers and training institutions to improve their training courses tostrengthen the capacity of local governments to deliver.

... "Calles con nombre y en honor de mujeres
Cinco mujeres que son representativas de una época, que fueron protagonistas de la historia de Tenerife o de España durante el siglo pasado. Azucena Rojas, Carmen Goya, Rosario Sánchez Mora ’La Dinamitera’, Victoria Kent y Concepción Arenal darán nombre a media decena de nuevas vías del barrio de la Luz, en La Orotava. La decisión la ha adoptado el Ayuntamiento de la Villa casi por unanimidad (CC, PSOE, IpO e IUC-LV votaron a favor y PP se abstuvo), tras aprobarse previamente en la Comisión Informativa de Educación, Cultura, Deportes, Juventud y Fiestas la propuesta que formuló el concejal de Izquierda Unida Canaria-Los Verdes (IUC-LV) Fran Baute.
