Event

From Gender Norms to Gender Justice: Knowledge and Practice

Host Organization: Northern California Grantmakers

About

What are gender norms and what does the philanthropy sector need to know to make an impact in grantmaking? Join Northern California Grantmakers, Silicon Valley Community Foundation, and Applied Materials for an interactive presentation by Riki Wilchins that will ground the audience in understanding gender norms and its connection to race and class.

Following the presentation, Riki will be joined by Juan Gomez (MILPA), Emma Mayerson (Alliance for Girls), and Bia Viera (Women’s Foundation of California) to discuss examples of how philanthropy and nonprofits are breaking down gender norms and working towards gender justice with an intersectional lens.

Join us to:

  • Learn gender terminology and basic concepts
  • Understand the concept of "intersectionality"
  • Share key findings around race and gender
  • Learn how to apply a gender justice lens to your philanthropic practice
