GTCoP - Community of Practice Training for Gender Equality

This Gender Issue guide looks at the different ways in which women, men, girls and boys are affected by the conditions of urbanization. For instance, in terms of equal access to employment and shelter, health and education, transport, asset ownership, experiences of urban violence and ability to exercise rights in cities. These gendered dimensions of cities require continual examination if inequalities are to be understood and addressed for equitable and sustainable development. This Research Guide aims to enhance understanding of this human-urban environment interface from a gender perspective.

The overarching goals of the training are to increase knowledge of legal rights to property in Uganda; to recognize women’s and men’s equality before the law; and to enable women and men to exercise and protect their own property rights while respecting others’ rights.

This training manualbrings together two key issues - gender and disability, aspects that have, for a long time, treated independent of each other by advocates of either gender or disability mainstreaming.

It aims to enable government ministries and all other stakeholders to view disability as a developmental and human rights issue which cuts across all sectors.

This is a tool for trainers, outlining two workshops that put an anti-oppression framework into practice. The first workshop, Power, Privilege and Identity Politics: An intersectional approach to serving the LGBTQ community, focuses on service providers as the first point of contact between an organization and its service users. The second workshop, Queering Space: A Positive Move For All, examines workspaces and institutions. It challenges participants to ask who gets left behind, or falls through the cracks of our current understanding of service provision and organisational policies and procedures. The document contains guidelines for discussion and debate, as well as training exercises.
