The factsheet: Gender Equality and the Sustainability of Wetlands provides a concise summary of key operational and practical entry points to increase understanding and facilitate the mainstreaming of gender in the implementation of the Convention on Wetland.  Derived from the Guidance on Mainstreaming Gender Under the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands published in 2021, the Factsheet is for governments and individuals with an interest in gender equality and how to increase the inclusion and participation of women in wetland initiatives. It highlights  four entry points when initiating gender mainstreaming efforts, presents a checklist of eight golden rules and includes a glossary of commonly used gender terms.
