 THE DREAM  

 

In the wake of rapid economic and cultural changes in the last two decades, we’re seeing new forms of structural oppression, injustice and violence emerge on a daily basis, experienced mostly by communities that are already vulnerable. New kinds of personal crises arising out of familial conflict, ill health, substance abuse, state neglect and economic hardships are calling out for our attention and care. In this atmosphere, the need to support each other with empathy, compassion and understanding has become stronger than ever.

In spite of almost half a century of the Indian women’s movement having existed and worked towards gender equality, the issues faced by women and other communities today are still deeply embedded in structural, psychological and institutional systems that need to be uprooted. We propose that feminist counselling, mediation and mobilisation are an important part of changing these systems, since they emerge from feminist frameworks rooted in communitarian care, lack of hierarchies, and subjective experience.

The Facilitating Women's Wellness and Justice course is therefore built on the belief that this combination of feminist  Self Work, Perspectives and Skills can work towards uprooting other systems of inequality as well, ones that are based on class, caste, sexual and gender identity, and religion. 

 PRE-REQUISITES 

 

  • An undergraduate degree or 2-3 years' work experience in the fields of activism, counselling, health or law.

  • Ability to read and and write in English as the course will be conducted in English.
