Led by professional facilitator and change maker Nidhi Kalaiya, Girl Up invites you to 'An Introduction to Intersectional Frameworks' - an eyeopening and transformative workshop exploring equity in the modern world! ❤️

Come along to learn more about 'intersectionality' - the ways in which different aspects of a person's identity can expose them to overlapping forms of discrimination and marginalisation. Following the workshop, our team will get creative - producing a group artwork reflecting on our learnings!

This introductory workshop will help individuals to understand the historical context of the term 'intersectionality', why it is important and how an intersectional lens can shape a more equitable world.
