gender action learning process

Through the Gender Action Learning (GAL) process, we engage organizational leaders in a customized, participatory process of co-creating strategies focused both on individual and systemic change. These processes lead to lasting change because they touch people at very deep levels, showing them new pathways for change and getting at the heart of discriminatory systems.

past projects

Research & Gender Action Learning

G@W has organized and implemented gender action learning programs in India beginning with the Gender Action Learning program (2004-2006) which involved research on an action learning program with 4 organizations. These included The Hunger Project (which at the time was working with women elected to local level governance bodies in 14 states), Yuv Shakti (a youth-directed NGO working in Panchmahal district in Gujarat), Grama Vikas (a rural development organization working in Kolar District of the Karnataka) and Dalit Bahujan Shramik Union (a Dalit union in Andhra Pradesh).

Dalit Women's Accountability Initiative

From January 2010 to June 2012, Gender at Work carried out this initiative with funding from the UN Fund for Gender Equality. This two-year project was implemented in Uttar Pradesh with the aim of increasing Dalit women’s access and participation in the right to work programme, MGNREGA. 8000 Dalit women were reached through awareness raising activities. Dalit women’s representation increased by 400% in all eight districts of the program.

#TipTheScale

ending workplace sexual harassment

#TipTheScale is a campaign to spread awareness about sexual harassment in the workplace and trigger collective action among individuals to demand and create safer working environments. We believe that one of the simplest paths to deep change is for the less powerful to speak as much as they listen and for the more powerful to listen as much as they speak. With this campaign, we aim to highlight the dangers of unequal power relations prevalent in the workplace and collectively #TipTheScale to end sexual harassment.
