Gender Equality
The
GED requires public authorities to promote equality of opportunity for men and
women, and to eliminate sex discrimination and harassment. It is not about
providing identical services to men and women but about meeting the differing
needs of men and women.
There are ways that the GED may affect vol orgs;
those that are providing public services, under LA funding, will also need to
comply. Secondly, the GED provides a useful lobbying tool if public
services are not meeting the needs of women or men. www.farehamaction.org.uk/ged.pdf
