Engender are working in partnership with Bemis (Black and Ethnic Minority Infrastructure in Scotland) and have funding from the Equality and Human Rights Commission to host a think tank that will reflect on equalities from a gendered perspecive.
The group aims to develop an understanding of the different discriminations and injustices people in Scotland face; how these overlap and interlink; the implications for individuals and Scotland’s social, political and economic development; and what needs to change for Scotland and ALL of our people, in all their diversity, to flourish.
The group will meet monthly and if you would like to participate please contact niki@engender.org.uk or Tanveer Parnez tanveer.parnez@bemis.org.uk
