Webinar: Intersectional Giving - Reconnecting Race, Social and Gender Justice...EPIPNational
Challenging harmful gender norms is key to making grant-making most effective for vulnerable populations, research has shown. That’s why major international donor institutions like CARE, PEPFAR, UNAIDS, UNFPA, USAID and WHO have all embraced “gender transformative” initiatives that challenge rigid gender norms. The World Bank has moved gender norms to the center of its work improving gender equity among women and girls. Gender impacts every issue funders address, yet gender norms are often ignored, or disconnected from factors like race and class.
Join this interactive, open discussion about the terms, ideas, and findings behind intersectional approaches to US philanthropy that reconnects racial, social, and gender justice. Toolkits and leave-behinds provided.
Riki Wilchins is Executive Director of TrueChild, a research and action center that promotes “gender transformative” approaches to improving life outcomes for at-risk youth that challenge rigid feminine and masculine norms and reconnect race, class and gender. The author of four books on gender theory and politics, Riki has conducted briefings and trainings for the White House, CDC, Office on Women’s Health, Office on Adolescent Health, as well as funding collaboratives Women’s Funding Network, Women Moving Millions, Philanthropy NY, and Jewish Women’s Fund Network. Riki’s work has been profiled in the NYTimes; TIME selected her among “100 Civic Innovators for the 21st Century.”

Special Eurobarometer 449 Report on Gender-based violenceJess Bauldry
Gender-based violence encompasses both violence directed towards a person on the basis of their
gender, and violence that disproportionately affects persons of a particular gender. Gender-based
violence can be physical, sexual or psychological, or a combination of two or more of these forms. It
includes domestic violence, sexual harassment and violence, harmful practices and cyberharassment.
Gender-based violence happens in every country, across the full spectrum of society,
and in a myriad of locations.

The Council of Europe works with governments, the private sector, civil society and other actors to shape the Internet
as a safe and open environment where freedom of expression, freedom of assembly and association, diversity, culture and education can flourish. In line with its overall mission, the ultimate aim of its Internet-related action is to protect and promote human rights, democracy and the rule of law.
Gender equality is central to the protection of human rights, the functioning of democracy, respect for the rule of law, and economic growth and competitiveness. The Council of Europe’s work in the fields of human rights and gender equality has resulted in comprehensive legal standards and policy guidance aimed at achieving the advancement and empowerment of women and the effective realisation of gender equality in Council of Europe member states and beyond.
