Another way that CIFCAD has been committed to promoting dignified lives is through promoting gender mainstreaming. Gender imbalance and inequalities can be a big hindrance to the vision and mission of any organization or company. We have committed to helping the flower farms, tea farms, and communities to gender perspectives in all policies, programs, and activities to ensure that all the needs, interests and experiences of both women and men are addressed.

We have adopted different strategies in the past. We have been involved in policy development to ensure that the issues of gender equality are integrated and central in policy formation and implementation across all sectors. We have conducted training and created awareness on the subject in the farms and communities to ensure that we build capacity and make the knowledge available.  We have also helped farms to monitor and evaluate the impact of policies that they have put in place through setting targets, collecting data on the progress, and making adjustments based on the findings to ensure that the efforts are effective. We are also at the forefront of challenging the leadership to prioritize gender equality and mainstreaming by giving women opportunities to make decisions through leadership roles.

By rallying for these strategies to be implemented, we believe that we shall have helped humanity to live a dignified life without partiality. We believe that gender mainstreaming is the easiest way towards achieving a more equitable society where everyone regardless of gender has equal opportunities and rights
