Introduction
As a contribution to transformation at the University of Pretoria (UP), the Centre for Human Rights (CHR) and the Centre for the Study of AIDS (CSA) undertook, with financial assistance from the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to develop a gender audit tool and to pilot different parts of it within various departments of the university. The aim of this process was to provide examples of the application of such a tool at the UP, and hence to support African universities in their efforts to strengthen equality between men and women at their institutions. The project also aimed to sensitise members of the UP and, in particular, the Executive Committee, to the numerous ways in which gender inequality was entrenched at the institution and to inspire positive change towards greater equality. In piloting the tool, we applied different parts of it to limited sectors and departments of the university.
