What does the workshop cover? 

Understanding power and how it is expressed is central to a feminist approach to advocacy. This full day workshop will provide you with a framework to identify and analyse different forms and expressions of power, enabling you to create an advocacy strategy that is capable of challenging oppressive power while building transformative power.
