Our capacity building initiative for educators not only aims in developing knowledge but also aims to develop critical understanding of the educators as it helps participants to link issues of gender, sexuality, reproductive health and development with the larger structural and systemic issues like patriarchy, caste-class-religion-based discrimination and violence, globalization and economic changes, nationalism and peace building.
