Workshop description:
Participants will engage in discussions and reflections to deepen their understanding of the differences between sex and gender, and how gender norms and expectations affect the lives and relationships of people across the gender spectrum. Through this workshop, participants will gain insights into the ways gender norms can create unequal power dynamics and discrimination, and will be encouraged to reflect on ways to promote more inclusive and equitable communities.
Facilitator: Eleni Nanaj
