This module explores sexism and misogyny, examining their roots, impacts, and the systems that perpetuate them in society. The module unpacks how gender-based discrimination manifests in various spaces—personal, professional, and societal, and the intersectionality of sexism with other forms of oppression, such as racism and ableism, emphasizing how different identities experience these issues in unique ways. Participants will learn to identify and challenge their own biases, develop strategies to confront and dismantle sexist attitudes and behaviours and foster a more equitable and inclusive environment. The module will also cover actionable steps to support gender equity in organizations and communities, empowering participants to become advocates for change.

Module format: It is asynchronous and can be completed 100% online.
