Between Discourse and Practical Implementation. A Methodology for Analyzing the Institutionalization of Gender Perspective within the Context of Housing and Urban Interventions in Chile
It is possible to agree that at an international level, particularly in international agencies and academia, few are unaware of what gender is and its relevance as an approach. Its incorporation in discussions related to public policy, programmes and projects has been considerable. In Chile, over the past ten years, this approach has increasingly been gaining relevance and becoming better known. However, this does not mean that the subject matter is accepted and even less incorporated into every day practice in territorial or human settlements interventions as that there are still confusions regarding its meaning, origin and framework, possible benefits and forms of application. This paper is based on the methodology applied in a research on the institutionalization of gender in human settlement in Chile and it concentrates on three main dimensions: the existing knowledge on the subject, its operationlisation and finally on the conditions for its institutionalisation.
