The international UN body UN-Women mostly uses the expression "égalité des sexes" on its French website:
https://www.unwomen.org/fr
... instead of "égalité hommes-femmes" or "égalité femmes-hommes".
But, referring to the term "gender-sensitive", I would preferably opt for Hélène's proposal: "qui prend en compte l'égalité hommes-femmes".
The term "gender" ("genre" in French) is often connoted as derogatory in the French language.

I agree wholeheartedly!
I think many of these well-intentioned international initiatives are doomed to failure because of their occidento-centric way of approaching the issues. There's no point taking it for granted (as we do nowadays) that women should have equal rights when in other cultures, this may not at all be a given, and challenging traditional mores is likely to generate resistance and hinder the project as a whole.

I am somewhat uncomfortable with the whole gender thing. I think it is a very Western-oriented concept. In the context of international development - mostly in Africa - it is plainly about women getting access to work, to land rights etc. I must say I do not get the point...

Oh that's great! So it's pretty much as I thought, then: the 'tenant compte' is not of gender per se, but rather of inequalities or discrimination that might arise out of it — I believe that is the key point to get over.

Thanks Tony for your contribution. A definition is actually given in the text: "gender-sensitive means that gender-specific inequalities and discrimination as well as the different interests, needs and potentials of the different sexes in a par-ticular context are taken into account."

I'm afraid I can't be much help in terms of the FR expression, but from your suggestions, I suspect you may be mis-interpreting the EN.
I think you're right, it does need to be 'genre' rather than 'sexe'.
But the '...-sensitive' part, to me, does mean 'sensible' — i.e. avoiding defining certain jobs as being 'for men' or 'for women', whilst remaining sensitive to cultural mores and physical possibilities. So I'm not sure that 'sexospécifique' wouldn't tend to take it the opposite way, and even 'tenant compte...' might not convey quite the right message?
I guess it depends on the work they are doing, and whether they are trying to take it away from the usual gender stereotypes ("It's OK for women to go hunting or for men to do the cooking") — thus potentially freeing up part of the workforce to be able to do whatever tasks need doing? Or whether they are trying to find 'modern' solutions that do not tread on traditional toes...
