OXFAM SOCIAL PROTECTION
GENDER TRANSFORMATIVE SOCIAL PROTECTION refers to policies and programme designed to address and rectify gender inequalities and empower women and marginalized genders. Unlike traditional social protection measures that primarily aim to mitigate economic vulnerability, gender transformative approaches actively challenge, and aim at changing, the social norms, behaviors, and power dynamics that perpetuate gender-based disparities. These initiatives often include elements such as access to education and healthcare, legal reforms to protect women's rights, economic opportunities that enhance financial independence, and community-based interventions that promote gender equality. Scholarly articles indicate that by focusing on the root causes of gender inequities, gender transformative social protection not only provides immediate relief but also fosters long-term social change towards a more inclusive and equitable society.
