Title: Making Commitments (1970 - 1995)
Course: Introduction to gender-based analysis plus GBA+ > Section: Optional module

The Government of Canada began making commitments to consider women (and “women’s issues”) when making policy decisions in the 1970s.

Indeed, the women's movement made fundamental contributions to the understanding and use of GBA+ and continues to influence its adoption.

Over time, the focus has shifted from a strictly women-centered view to one that focuses on how programs and policies affect various groups of people differently due to gender and other diverse factors.
