Online, Monday 14 July
 

This is a dynamic training session designed to spark real change where it’s needed most. While civil society and volunteer-driven organisations often champion inclusivity, leadership roles still don’t reflect the diversity of those they serve. Gender inequality remains a stubborn barrier, with women and gender-diverse individuals frequently underrepresented in boardrooms and decision-making spaces. This session tackles those imbalances head-on, helping you understand not just what the gaps are, but why they persist—and how we can close them.

This isn’t just about ticking boxes; it’s about reshaping leadership for a stronger, fairer future. Whether you're a board member, staff leader, or committed volunteer, Gender Equality in Civil Society Organisations Leadership (Boards) will equip you with the insights, tools, and confidence to champion gender equity in your organisation. Expect practical strategies, honest conversations, and a renewed sense of purpose as we work together to break down barriers and build leadership that truly represents and empowers all voices. Inclusive leadership isn’t just good policy—it’s smart, impactful, and long overdue.
