In which situation will a gender equality policy not be effective even after being introduced?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When monitoring, accountability, and grievance-redressal mechanisms are absent
A is correct. Introducing a gender equality policy alone is not enough; monitoring compliance, fixing responsibility, and providing a system to address discrimination complaints are also essential. Without these, the policy may remain only on paper and fail in practice. Reviewing wage data, providing regular training, and including women in decision-making are measures that strengthen implementation. Exam tip: Link policy success with implementation, monitoring, and accountability.
