Brown Bag Event: Exploring the Social Inclusion Approach

Please join CEDPA in a discussion exploring the pros and cons of using a gender and social inclusion approach versus a solely gender approach for the advancement of women. In the past few years, CEDPA has been moving towards adopting a gender and social inclusion approach to empowering women and girls worldwide. CEDPA recognizes that while there are practical and strategic benefits of using a gender and social inclusion approach, there are also some conceptual complications accompanying the approach, and that adopting such an approach risks minimizing gender as a form of social exclusion. Please join us for a lively discussion on these different approaches.

When: Wednesday, October 12, 2011
12:30-2:00 PM

          Where: The Centre for Development and Population Activities
