UNITAR's Strides Towards Gender Equality in Learning Design
In honour of International Women's Day, UNITAR's Learning Solutions team is proud to share some of our offerings that embody our commitment to women's empowerment and gender equality and that help to foster gender mainstreaming within UNITAR and beyond.
UNITAR
Our "Gender Mainstreaming in the Training Cycle" guide stands at the forefront of our efforts towards women empowerment and gender equality. This comprehensive framework assists learning designers, trainers, and project managers in embedding a gender lens throughout all project phases, ensuring that capacity-building initiatives are impactful and inclusive.
If learning designers and project managers do not consider gender at all phases of their learning projects, they risk exacerbating inequalities and reinforcing harmful stereotypes.
Our learning solutions incorporate gender and inclusivity considerations throughout the training cycle as an essential element of our approach. From project conceptualization to evaluation, we provide a roadmap for creating learning solutions that address gender disparities and promote equality.
Gender & Inclusivity eLearning Module
Within our flagship "Training of Trainers" eLearning course, our "Gender & Inclusivity" module takes a step further by engaging learners with interactive content that underlines the importance of inclusivity. Addressing the five lenses of inclusivity – Power dynamics, Access, Participation, Dignity, and Impact & Do No Harm – this module ensures that learning environments are equitable and accessible to all.
By integrating an intersectional approach to gender equality, we enable trainers to understand and respect the diverse experiences of women, enhancing the effectiveness and reach of their training programmes.
