Seminar 11 - April 22, 2021: Gender Transformative Interventions
Gender Transformative Interventions, by Drs. Denise Dunnning and Anke Hemmerling
We will start with a general introduction to GTIs, and a discussion around the roles of boys and men. Then Dr Dunning will present her work with Rise Up, an organization working worldwide, educating women and girls to become leaders. Since 2009, Rise Up’s network of over 600 leaders have successfully advocated for 120 new and improved laws impacting 135 million people in Africa, Latin America, South Asia, and the U.S.
What role can gender transformative interventions play in Kenya and beyond, and what are limitations?
From your experience, what are the key influencing factors on boy’s gender attitudes in Kenya, and what could work in Kenya to address gender socialization? What are the challenges?
What are the most important strategies Rise Up used to combat child marriage in Malawi and Guatemala? How can grassroots mobilization complement advocacy for policy change?
