Membership and Career – Fabulous Feminists

MEMBERSHIP AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT

We equip gender specialists in two ways:

Enhancing your skills and knowledge on key gender equality issues and supporting you to drive meaningful feminist change in your organisation.

Through training, facilitation and knowledge exchange, change agents such as gender focal points become more confident in their work, and better placed to implement change towards feminist futures.

By working with us, feminist change agents are better equipped to deal with persistent challenges – like resistances to gender equality; and obstacles to meaningful change.

Check out how we can support your career through personalised career consultations and Membership platform.

“Meaningful change requires organisations to look both inward and outward. My courses and mentoring for feminist change agents include gender mainstreaming at the operational and programmatic level.

I am always searching for new methodologies and approaches for maximizing the effectiveness of our work. Participants learn how to use techniques for challenging blockages and developing new ways of thinking and behaving within institutions.”

“In a moment in development where many of us are thinking about power and voice, and about what knowledge is and who has it, applied theater theater is an unexpected and energizing way in.”

“I am excited about the potential to further my work and found it really encouraging to learn from such experts in a safe space where facilitators gave us a lot of time.”
