Ideas wall
- Oxfam internal practice needs to align with breaking down gender roles and stereotypes
- Need to address internal gender parity issues that are raised by any initiative
- Organisational silence about own practices & experiences of violence are an issue
- There is questioning about putting human rights at the heart of all we do; need to start with our own staff
- How do we live intersectionality? Dialogues, recruitment, levels of employment and pay parity.
- ALL staff trained on GBV before and during emergencies. Need to build internal capacity.
- Hypocrisy – why will others listen to us about how to change if we aren’t willing to walk our talk. We also become part of the problem.
- Where do we intervene first to create change?
- We need to reflect on the concepts we are using, and address the gap between what we say and reality
- The buy-in of directors/senior managers is fundamental in order to move forward with this work
