Join us Tuesday, October 8^th, 2024, at the Washington Women’s Foundation for a Gender Justice training with the Epiphanies of Equity team! By deepening our understanding of contemporary gender dynamics, we aim to enhance the quality of our grant decisions, nonprofit partnerships and relationships, and help cultivate a more welcoming world. From book bans to the #metoo movement, to the fall of Roe v. Wade, to legislation in many states targeting queer and trans folks – gender injustice is all around us, demanding our attention, understanding, and action. This training will cover core concepts, key terms and empower folks to think broadly and critically about the world of gender. These activities may explore topics such as gender identity versus expression and the role of intersectionality.

EOE uses a framework known as the psychosocial basis of equity work, which delves into the interplay between our internal processes and external interactions. This framework examines how our subconscious thoughts and behaviors, often operating on autopilot, influence our engagement with others and ultimately shape the outcomes of equity efforts. EOE’s approach is rooted in organizational development, social equity, and change management, recognizing humans as the dynamic “chaos variable” in equity work. Rather than sidelining individual subjectivity, EOE emphasizes its central role in shaping perceptions and behaviors, including understanding gender dynamics and evolving terminology around gender.
