"I would like to thank Gender at Work for allowing me to be part of this process and to thank the facilitators to open up their hearts and share everything with us. You have an amazing team in South Africa; I had never seen a team like this in my experience. I commend the Gender at Work management for the type of work that they do; it is very encouraging. It is a process that changes individuals; you can't just stay the same. It's like a rebirth; it makes you a new person. I encourage them to share the process with the world. They may not realize this is but they are touching a lot of lives. It is like seeds that grow in bigger fruits. I am very grateful for being here and for being part of this process." - Capacity Development Program Participant
Their mission statement: "Gender at Work envisions a world that values and respects women's human right and cultures of equality, especially gender equality. We understand that to change systems of power that hold inequality in place, relationships between people, institutions, and organizations" (genderatwork.org).
"This process has had an impact in my way of not just looking for work, but the whole world. Now I look at everything from a feminist lens, whether it is conversations with family or friends or while watching a film. My own sense of reflection and understanding of self has improved, and I have realized that to be able to look critically at oneself is something really important. I am able to handle and engage with feedback in more constructive ways." - Feminist Leadership Program Participant
