4. Appoint a leader in each group. Ask the participants to read
their designated section of the module together with the
case studies, and then to discuss them and prepare a
“defence” based on the following questions:
• What is distinctive about the role of women in this
context?
• What are the potential benefits of mainstreaming
gender considerations?
• What are the barriers?
• What would be lost if gender considerations were not
included?

discussions on each question. Assist the leaders of each group
in facilitating their discussions and in highlighting the key
issues.

members can participate in this presentation. If possible,
provide additional information on the key issues and possible
ways of dealing with them.
7. Allow the participants of the other groups to put forward
questions and suggestions.
