Facilitating difficult conversations
Gender at Work associate Mahelet Hailemariam reflects on her role to facilitate the gender action learning processes and to mentor the change teams in their initiatives to address SRGBV.
At Gender at Work, we are committed to reflection as both a political and pedagogical act, using it to reveal insights, challenge assumptions, and adapt our practices. Our approach to learning is emergent: shaped by context, grounded in feminist values and open to the unknown. We see learning as both a method and a muscle: something strengthened through practice, vulnerability and shared reflection.
