Intersectional Gender-Based Analysis Workshop

An Intersectional Gender-Based Analysis or IGBA is a process that helps us consider the potential impacts – positive or negative – of initiatives, policies, budgets, procedures, and projects on diverse groups of people. IGBA can help us to identify risks, gaps, or power imbalances in our organization and to create strategies to address these issues.

IGBA can help us recognize the harmful impacts of overlapping forms of discrimination, because when policies and programs are developed without considering inequity, we risk reproducing barriers to participation, and further harming already marginalized groups and people.
