Resource guide: Gender mainstreaming into technical and vocational education and training in Bangladesh
The main purpose of this Resource Guide is to provide guidance, practical how-to tools and available information on technical resources to support the task of operationalizing the National Strategy for Promoting Gender Equality within technical and vocational education and training (TVET) institutions. More specifically, the Guide focuses on three objectives:
1. To facilitate a clear understanding of key barriers to female participation from a gender perspective and analyse their implications in women’s employment and economic empowerment;
2. To provide practical tools and guidance on how to mainstream gender effectively into the TVET institutional structures, systems, programmes and activities; and
3. To provide information on available technical resources to strengthen the capacity of TVET gender focal points in mainstreaming gender equality concerns.
