Workshop Series: Gender Matters
March 2nd, 2013 | Events, Gender-based Violence, News
A guide to understanding feminism and concepts of gender in ourselves and our society
The word feminism can elicit extreme reactions. Some completely identify with it, while many say: “I believe in gender equality but I am not a feminist.”
What exactly is feminism? The definition can vary from feminist to feminist, and many misconceptions prevail.
To help women and men understand feminism better, AWARE has put together a 3-part workshop series that explores the history of the feminist movement, how gender roles are shaped over time, the gender messages that are embedded in popular culture, and what feminism means today.
Men, particularly fathers, are strongly encouraged to participate.
