Operationalizing Intersectionality in Organizational Culture and Systems
Embed Intersectionality Where It Matters Most: Within Your Organization
This session is for those who are already thinking about equity and asking the harder question: how does this actually show up in how we hire, make decisions, allocate resources, and work with partners? It supports those looking to embed intersectional approaches across internal processes, decision-making, and partnerships.
Co-hosted by Cooperation Canada and facilitated by Kareema Batal, this session focuses on translating intersectional principles into concrete organizational practices. From governance and HR to accountability systems and partner relationships, the training explores how to operationalize intersectionality in ways that are both practical and sustainable.
Building on foundational pre-learning, the workshop offers a dedicated space for reflection, application, and peer exchange. Grounded in real-world challenges, it invites participants to critically examine their organizations and begin shaping pathways for change.
This is about moving from understanding intersectionality to embedding it into how your organization actually works.
