CREA
is happy to announce the release of its new publication -- Achieving Transformative
Feminist Leadership: A Toolkit for Organisations and Movements.
The Toolkit aims to help individuals and
organisations dedicated to advancing a feminist social change
agenda--an agenda based on the belief that all development and social
justice must be rooted in gender and social equality. The Toolkit is
part of CREA's continuous endeavour to strengthen feminist leadership
of women and grassroots organisations, seeking to further the
transformative goals of the feminist movement.
Developed by Srilatha Batliwala, Scholar
Associate, Association for Women's Rights in Development (AWID), and
Michel Friedman, Senior Associate, Gender At Work, the
Toolkit is based largely on the concept paper entitled Feminist Leadership for Social Transformation:
Clearing the Conceptual Cloud by Srilatha Batliwala,
published by CREA in 2011.
The Toolkit is intended to serve not just
feminist organisations working on human rights and social justice
issues, but also organisations that have programmes that focus on
women or are led and staffed, wholly or in part, by women.
The Toolkit aims to enable individuals and
groups to:
- Examine and analyse their own specific
organisational setting and the nature of its leadership at
different levels
- Understand how their individual self
and that of others is shaping their practice of leadership
- Begin to think about how they may want
to deal with these issues in order to bring their individual and
organisational leadership practices more in harmony with the
principles of transformative feminist leadership.
