Gender Analysis

Gender Analysis Guidelines (download Word version )
These guidelines explain in detail how each department performs a gender analysis of its budget, services and employment.

Gender Analysis Reports
Following the adoption of the local CEDAW Ordinance, and the development of the Gender Analysis Guidelines (above), 7 City & County of San Francisco departments completed the intensive analysis process, providing their reports to the CEDAW Task Force.  The Task Force (no longer active) made recommendations to each Department, and departments themselves identified areas of growth to address following the analysis.  Follow-up reports have been provided to either the Task Force or to the Commission on the Status of Women about these departments' progress in acheiving gender equality in their programs, managment, and budgets.
