dc.descriptionCommitment to gender mainstreaming has been expressed worldwide as a result of the Beijing conference in 1995. The introduction of gender mainstreaming in the Beijing Platform for Action was regarded as a victory for gender ambassadors from the South, including the women's movements. However, an empirical study from Ghana on the processes of &lsquo;translating&rsquo; gender mainstreaming into practice demonstrates that gender mainstreaming has not lived up to the expectations for transformation &ndash; the Ghanaian women's movement has not played the role imagined in taking gender mainstreaming further. &lsquo;Agenda-setting&rsquo; of the women's movement and taking gender mainstreaming in a more democratic/participatory direction seems to be more of a vision than a reality in this context. This article is hosted by our co-publisher Taylor & Francis.
