Description:
This working paper explores the UN Women Training Centre's aim to develop a professional course to certify gender trainers, in order to ensure that trainers deliver high quality training in line with feminist principles and pedagogic frameworks. The paper also offers a brief literature review outlining current thinking about gender trainers, and maps initiatives by various organisations to train and certify trainers. The paper argues that an approach to gender training, and therefore gender trainers as the mediators of training, needs to take into account feminist ways of thinking and practice, such as reflexivity, working with resistances, intersectionality and praxis.
