2.3.2. Gender mainstreaming in the social inclusion/social protection process<br />
Poverty is increasingly feminised and especially affects single mothers and elderly women. Gender<br />
inequalities however are also persistent in other groups facing social exclusion, such as immigrants,<br />
ethnic minorities and disabled people. This means that there are differences in the causes, extent,<br />
and form of social exclusion experienced by women and men.<br />
Since 2000 one of the goals of the open method of coordination (OMC) for social inclusion has<br />
been to eliminate these inequalities. This OMC has required the Member States to submit National<br />
Action Plans to combat social exclusion and poverty and to promote the mainstreaming of equality<br />
between women and men in all actions taken, in particular by assessing the implications for both<br />
men and women at the different stages of the planning of, decision-making on, and monitoring of<br />
actions.<br />
