A/HRC/41/43 39. Building on those three gender windows and the international standards concerning women’s rights discussed in section III above, the Working Group has developed a gender framework for the Guiding Principles, comprising a three-step cycle relevant to all three pillars: gender-responsive assessment, gender-transformative measures and gendertransformative remedies (see figure). The assessment should be responsive: it should be able to respond to differentiated, intersectional and disproportionate adverse impacts on women’s human rights as well as to discriminatory norms and patriarchal power structures. The consequent measures and remedies should be transformative in that they should be capable of bringing change to patriarchal norms and unequal power relations that underpin discrimination, gender-based violence and gender stereotyping. 10
