Gender Equality Foundations
Create change — starting with you.
Why You Need It
Gender inequality isn’t just a statistic — it’s something we live and breathe every day. From the pay gap to who holds power, from the violence people face to whose voices are silenced, gender inequality is everywhere. But here’s the truth: it doesn’t have to be this way.
Gender Equality Foundations gives you the knowledge and tools to challenge inequality head-on. In just under two hours, you’ll uncover how power and privilege shape the world, why intersectionality matters, and what you can do to create change. Because a more equal world doesn’t happen by chance — it happens because people like you make it so.
We’ll Teach You
By the end of this course, you’ll have more than just knowledge — you’ll have the tools, awareness, and confidence to start creating change in your own life and community. You’ll:
- Understand what gender really is. Go beyond stereotypes and discover how society teaches us to perform gender from the moment we’re born.
- See why intersectionality matters. Explore how gender inequality overlaps with race, class, sexuality, disability and more — shaping people’s opportunities and experiences in different ways.
- Recognise inequality in action. Learn how power and privilege operate in everyday situations — from the workplace to family life — and what the costs of inequality are for everyone.
- Discover the benefits of equality. See how gender equality improves lives, workplaces, and communities — and why it’s not a ‘women’s issue’, but something that benefits us all.
- Take practical steps forward. Gain tools and strategies to challenge inequality and start building a gender equal future, wherever you are — at work, at home, and in your relationships.
