❓ What does taking a gender-transformative approach mean? ⚡ This is a question frequently put to Fabulous Feminists Founder Lucy Ferguson within her role as a gender equality expert. She explains: "In essence, it is about tackling the root causes of gendered inequalities." 📑 The attached Technical Note by United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) gives clear and detailed guidance, and explains that while there is not one definitive solution for every situation, a gender-transformative approach can be applied to all situations. This insightful document highlights concrete examples of successful gender-transformative programming. 📢 “Gender-transformative approaches support gender equality by explicitly addressing the underlying causes of gender inequality.” UNICEF defines their approach with these three key points: ↪ Apply a human rights-based approach ↪ Place women and girls at the centre ↪ Take a positive approach to male engagement 🌍 As part of the UN Women Gender Mainstreaming Training Package, Lucy has been providing training on gender-transformative results for a range of UN entities including UNESCO, International Labour Organization, World Food Programme and UNEP-WCMC.

💜 Yesterday — our very first Fabulous Feminists members-only event — was a mixture of delight at coming together and meeting new members of the network but combined with a mournful consciousness of the terrible events which are taking place across certain parts of the world. 🇱🇧 💡 Our vision is to provide a home for Fabulous Feminists everywhere, and the hope and ambition of our webinar yesterday was very much in the spirit of finding strength and solidarity in our united efforts to transform oppression into peace and equality, to forge a path to give women equal power and rights, and to work together to achieve this in line with robust feminist values. The Fabulous Feminists community has collective goals and a collective voice and from this very first meeting, members produced numerous insights and ideas across multiple topic areas to feed into our resources and mutually supportive initiatives.
