   The UNECE Gender Responsive Standards Initiative provides a practical way for standards bodies wishing to take a step towards making the standards they develop and the standards development process they follow gender responsive, it aims to:

   ·       Integrate a gender lens in the development of both standards and technical regulations,
   ·       Elaborate gender indicators and criteria that could be used in standards development.
