GERI Gender Workshop & Dialogue
November 8, 2023 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm
The Gender Equity and Reconciliation International (GERI) programme is a groundbreaking initiative dedicated to advancing gender equality and fostering reconciliation in diverse communities worldwide. GERI operates on the premise that lasting gender equity cannot be achieved without addressing deep-rooted social and cultural norms that perpetuate discrimination and violence. GERI employs a multifaceted approach, combining education, community engagement, and conflict resolution strategies. Through workshops, seminars, and dialogue sessions, GERI empowers individuals to challenge traditional gender roles and stereotypes, fostering a more inclusive society where all genders are valued and respected. One of GERI’s key innovations is its emphasis on reconciliation, promoting healing and understanding between individuals and groups affected by gender-based discrimination and violence. By creating safe spaces for dialogue and transformation, GERI enables communities to break free from cycles of conflict and build a more equitable future for all. GERI is a visionary program that not only strives for gender equity but also seeks to heal the wounds of discrimination, making it an indispensable force for positive social change.
