Quevolution (pronounced Key-volution) is a term to use rather than evolution and it is the ‘key’ to moving forward…the ‘key’ to changing mindsets and biases; changing rigidity and the old ways of doing things. A quevolution is a ‘quick evolution’, a progressive and rapidly-evolutionary way of changing perspectives towards Gender mainstreaming
