Explanation
Gender Mainstreaming was established as a global strategy for gender equality at the 1995 Beijing Platform for Action and requires review of government policy across all sectors (A, B, C are true). CEDAW was adopted in 1979 — it preceded Gender Mainstreaming, not followed it. Statement D is not an aspect of GM.
