%X In this article, we discuss Gender Advisory Team (GAT)¡¯s multilevel linkage strategy¡ªMacro¨CMeso¨CMicro¡ªin promoting women¡¯s ideas and views on the different issues discussed at the negotiating table and raising public awareness on GAT¡¯s recommendations regarding the issues of governance and power-sharing from a gender and feminist perspective as well as on property, economy, citizenship, and education in a federal reunited Cyprus. In this article, we give examples only on governance and citizenship. Our feminist take on these issues necessitates a perspective that transcends the ethnic divide and includes the Women, Peace and Security agenda. We argue that Cypriot women¡¯s concerns, needs, and gender mainstreaming as well an inclusive process should be prioritised at all levels of institutions. We conclude with GAT¡¯s impact and challenges
