Table 1.WHO Gender Responsive Assessment Scale: criteria for assessing programmes and policies

Level	Criteria
1. Gender-unequal	Perpetuates gender inequality by reinforcing unbalanced norms, roles and relations Privileges men over women (or vice versa) Often leads to one sex enjoying more rights or opportunities than the other
2. Gender-blind	Ignores gender norms, roles and relations Very often reinforces gender-based discrimination Ignores differences in opportunities and resource allocation for women and men Often constructed based on the principle of being “fair” by treating everyone the same
3. Gender-sensitive	Considers gender norms, roles and relations Does not address inequality generated by unequal norms, roles or relations Indicates gender awareness, although often no remedial action is developed
4. Gender-specific	Considers gender norms, roles and relations for women and men and how they affect access to and control over resources Considers women's and men's specific needs Intentionally targets and benefits a specific group of women or men to achieve certain policy or programme goals or meet certain needs Makes it easier for women and men to fulfil duties that are ascribed to them based on their gender roles
5. Gender-transformative	Considers gender norms, roles and relations for women and men and that these affect access to and control over resources Considers women's and men's specific needs Addresses the causes of gender-based health inequities Includes ways to transform harmful gender norms, roles and relations Objective is often to promote gender equality Includes strategies to foster progressive changes in power relationships between women and men
