On Gender
​
On Gender takes a gendered lens to devolved policy and puts gender on the agenda.
​
This publication aims to identify what we know – and what we need to know – about gender inequality in tackling the big policy agendas devolved to Greater Manchester and other areas with devolution deals.
This report was conducted in September 2022 by researchers Rosalind Shorrocks and Anna Sanders, partnering with the University of Manchester, and the University of York, the focus and themes were co-created with GM4Women2028. This was made a possibility due to the ESRC Impact Acceleration Account funding in 2022 as a section of their research on women’s attitudes and behaviours.
The survey findings underscore the critical importance of considering women’s experiences in shaping policies aimed at protecting and supporting them. The report also emphasizes the urgent need for further research to provide robust data for inclusive policies that represent all women at a national level. This report serves as a compelling call to action for policymakers to prioritize evidence-based approaches that truly reflect the diverse realities and perspectives of women.
