Some Reactions from the training:

I never knew my housework deserves value. (female)

I feel disheartened to see how unfavorable the

Bangladeshi laws are towards women

This is my first gender training in my many years ofworking in development (male)

I thought it was discriminatory to have reserved

seats for women, children and disabled people. Now

I realize the equity process.


22/30

Participants Evaluation

Training duration needs to be increased

More case studies on patriarchal values and discrimination

More information on organizational gender mainstreaming
