What is the course

What is the Intersectional Feminism in Indonesian Context programme?

A practical, outcome-focused training programme designed to help teams build knowledge, apply tools and improve performance in real work situations.

The Intersectional Feminism in Indonesian Context programme equips DEI leaders, corporate social impact managers and civil society advocates with the analytical rigor to dissect how gender intersects with class, ethnicity, geography, religion and disability across Indonesia, formulating nuanced corporate and community policies that leave no group behind.

UnderstandIntersectional theory, compounding social disadvantages and regional Indonesian inequities

ApplySimulate a live stakeholder dialogue reconciling conflicting needs between corporate management, labor and local communities.

ImproveEstablish an institutional Intersectional Equity Scorecard and annual program audit cycle.

Is this right for your team

Is this built for your team?

This course is ideal for many organisations, but may not be the best fit for every situation. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

Ideal for teams who:

Formulate corporate DEI, ESG or CSR policies that recognize the diverse lived experiences of Indonesian women
Want to avoid monolithic gender initiatives that only benefit affluent, urban, middle-class professionals
Need to analyze complex compounding disadvantages across ethnicity, socio-economic class, disability and geography
Value social justice, inclusive democracy and human dignity in contemporary Indonesian society

Another course may be better if:

You view gender diversity as a single generic checklist item with no need for cultural or socio-economic depth
You dismiss the experiences of rural, indigenous or lower-income women as irrelevant to corporate strategy
You only manage quantitative server database indexing with no human organizational policy duties
You are looking for general party political campaigning workshops

?Not sure this is the right course?Talk to our team for a quick, no-obligation discussion. We’ll help you find the best solution for your goals.Request a Consultation Customised Training
