BASICS OF GENDER MADE SIMPLE (OXFORD POLICY MANAGEMENT)

This document covers foundational concepts, clarifies common terminology, and addresses widespread myths surrounding gender by unpacking everyday ideas and presenting them in simpler terms. 
 
By clarifying terminology that is often used interchangeably in real-world settings, such as equality and equity, the document helps readers develop a clearer understanding of these terms, as well as more complex ideas such as gender intentionality, gender transformation, and the relationships between gender, power, and patriarchy. The document also explains seven common myths about gender. 
 
Through its accessible language, engaging presentation, and fun illustrations, this document is well worth reading for anyone interested in learning more about gender.

INTERSECTIONALITY WHEELS: Then and Now

Image
Back in 2009, the Canadian Research Institute for the Advancement of Women (CRIAW-ICREF) developed the Intersectionality Wheel for their publication, Everyone Belongs: A Toolkit for Applying Intersectionality. The goal was to illustrate how various facets of discrimination and social identity come together in people’s lives. Lately, The Equality Institute has refined this model. Their version focuses on a person’s life stages, from infancy to adulthood, and shows how these stages intersect with identities like race, gender, disability, and Indigenous status, while also considering broader systemic challenges such as racism, sexism, and colonialism. Included in the 2022 publication of the UN Women and UN PRPD Intersectionality Resource Guide and Toolkit, this version highlights that a person’s experiences are ever-changing and never fixed. It further deepens the understanding of how power, identity, and social context evolve throughout one’s life. Hnin Ei Lwin #Monitoring   #Evaluat...
