ALCARAZ-VARGAS, B. Gilliana; NUNEZ-VERA, M. Aidé  and  HERNANDEZ-MORENO, J. Antonio. Evaluation (with gender perspective) of the SEMARNAT equality program 2013 in México. agric. soc. desarro [online]. 2016, vol.13, n.2, pp.303-324. ISSN 1870-5472.

Public policies for women in México are centered on the inclusion of the gender perspective in the government programs and projects that promote development. Their strategy is the mainstreaming of gender equality. One of the government institutions that have this mandate is the Secretaría de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales, through the Gender Equality and Environmental Sustainability program. This study approaches the analysis of the level of incorporation of this perspective in the design, operation and execution of the program of reference, through the implementation of a methodology of gender verification for social programs. The policy of Gender Equality in the environmental sector is focused on the practical needs of women, which is why it addresses the activities for family sustenance; it is a strategy that requires integrating them into the process of planning and implementation of the public policy, with the support of different social actors.
