It’s no secret that gender equality is a pressing issue of our time, from the gender pay gap to violence against women and girls.
But gender policy is often cordoned off into its own team or department, separate from the myriad policy issues that affect it. And when another crisis arises — like Covid-19 — gender-related issues can be the first to drop from the agenda.
Watch this free online workshop to find out how to get buy-in for gender equality in the public service. You’ll discover the importance of integrating gender policy into the wider policy agenda, and discover tips and tools for getting others on board for gender equality, no matter what department they’re in.
You'll learn:
- How gender policy is connected to other policy areas
- Why it’s important to include gender equality in a mainstream policy agenda
- Ways to get buy-in from peers, colleagues, and seniors
Who should watch:
This workshop is for public servants and policymakers who want to learn how to get gender equality on the mainstream policy agenda, whether or not you work directly on gender policy.
