Summary:

As a means to ensure better participation of all people of concern in decision-making, UNHCR has developed this tool as part of its Age, Gender and Diversity Mainstreaming Strategy. Participation is particularly important for those who are often excluded, such as women, children, and adolescents, the elderly and other groups suffering from discrimination. The UNHCR Tool outlines 10 basic steps to ensure women, girls, boys, and men participate in analyzing protection problems together; in discussing capacities to face protection problems, and in finding solutions together.
