This three-day, the virtual workshop is for international development and humanitarian workers who want to better understand gender, Islam, and feminist movements in the Muslim world. This training will familiarize participants with fundamental concepts, tenets, and ideas about gender, Islam, and Islamic feminism. It will help them recognize common myths and stereotypes that are still very common in the development, humanitarian, and human rights sectors. Participants will also explore decolonized approaches to the design of gender equality and gender-integrated programs in Muslim-majority countries. All participants will receive a manual with essential information and resources.
Why take this course? Much of the international development humanitarian policy and programming that occurs in Muslim-majority communities are created by people who are not from those communities. Instead, it is often created by people from countries that have a long history of stereotyping and misunderstanding Islam. This is particularly true when it comes to stereotypes about gender, feminism, and Islam. If this resonates with you, this course is for you!
