Gender architecture is the name for all of the state’s machinery that enables women’s equality + rights:

laws + regulation
ministries
oversight + advisory bodies
tribunals + courts
parliamentary committees + rapporteurs
gender budgeting + mainstreaming processes https://twitter.com/engenderscot/status/1305801251209261056

Gender architecture comes up all the time when women talk about our lives. It’s in questions like:

Why is no one accountable for my disabled child’s inadequate care package?
Why isn’t it against the law for care work to be undervalued?
Why can’t I get a pram on the bus?

The gender architecture of a nation can help enable justice, accountability, and good decision-making that pays attention to the differences in women’s and men’s lives.
