Collaboration between all stakeholders is key to positive change in #healthcare from a #gender perspective! We mark #IWD2024 with three key takeaways from the roundtable “Gender Lens in NCD Care Delivery” organized as part of the global activities in March: ✔ Informative sessions for healthcare professionals to further the understanding of gender concepts. ✔ Community engagement and education via civil society organizations and media. ✔ Recognizing and defending rights bridge the gap between laws and their implementation. Together, we can reshape mindsets. #GenderInHealthcare #CollaborativeAction #AcOnNCDs 𝐼𝑚𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑖𝑠 𝐴𝐼-𝑔𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑑.

Accumulating wisdom into small actionable tips - that provide an amazing start for advancing the inclusion of all #genders in your organization 🌈Inclusive Restrooms & Facilities: Expand bathroom options beyond gendered stalls by offering all-gender restrooms or installing multi-stall facilities with individual lockable doors. 🌈 Offer Targeted Support and resources that address the specific challenges faced by #LGBTQIA+ people of color, #transgender individuals, or those navigating non-traditional family structures. 🌈 Unconscious Bias in Action: Move beyond traditional #unconsciousbias training and implement targeted programs that address specific biases relevant to the LGBTQIA+ community. This could involve tackling biases around transgender identities, same-sex parenting, or LGBTQIA+ leadership potential. 🌈 Benefits Beyond Binary: Offer health insurance plans that cover same-sex marriage and chosen family needs. 🌈 #Ally Up! Train managers and staff on LGBTQIA+ inclusion, fostering a workplace where everyone feels safe to be themselves. 🌈 Pride & Progress: Support LGBTQIA+ employee resource groups (#ergs) and participate in community events that showcase your commitment to inclusion. #Pride2024 #LGBTQinclusion #LGBTQIA #LGBTQIA+ #Equity #TransEquality #Pridemonth #PrideCelebration #PrideRainbow #ProudAndLoud #PrideParade #StandWithPride #genderinclusion #deimatters #deitips

#reality #breach Overwhelmed, while watching my girl in grade 3 reading and researching on “gender equality”, although this was mandated through SDGs, yet a desire for future. I am quite hopeful for generation Alpha & z, in understanding and respecting the significance, however more efforts are required on gen x and y, specifically when these people are holding most of the leadership positions in corporate sector with own limitations of exposure towards sensitivities. Trainings are required for elderly leadership positions along with focused execution plans, as new generation is more complied. #trainleadersongender

“Gender is a story, not just a word.” - Alok Vaid Menon In order for us to be effective allies and co-conspirators to the trans and gender expansive people in our lives, we must begin by understanding some of the many stories of gender we’ve been told. Some stories have been forgotten, erased, and diminished. Some have been hidden, or reduced to “just a phase”. Some have been the cause of emotional, psychological, and physical harm and violence. In this workshop-style course, we will share personal, historic, and cultural stories through whole group dialogue, small group breakout sessions, and independent reflection and journaling.

How can and in what way should an employer support competing rights under the Equality Act? Debates like these demand common sense and compassion As leaders, how do we ensure everyone feels safe, respected, and included? What do you think? How can we navigate such sensitive issues fairly? It’s time to explore innovative solutions, thoughtful policy reviews, and open dialogue. #transgender #discrimination #inclusivity #genderreasignment #humanresources

via @Solutions Journalism Network A solutions story focuses on a response to a social problem — and how that response has worked or why it hasn’t. The best solutions reporting distils the lessons that make the response relevant and accessible to others. In other words, it offers insight. Solutions journalism looks for evidence — data or qualitative results that show effectiveness (or lack thereof). Solutions stories reveal a response’s shortcomings. No response is perfect, and some work well for one community but may fail in others.
