The readings brought up the SG's gender plans, but it was nice to hear Toni's opinion on his plan. ]]> 2022-02-22 17:14:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyeaston/Bookmarks/wish/2061015525 https://padlet.com/kelseyeaston/Bookmarks/wish/2061015994 Connection: I took a class on women and politics. There are a lot of similarities in the struggles and enforcement here and in that class.
Concept: the need for active change and legislation and effective leadership ]]> 2022-02-22 17:14:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyeaston/Bookmarks/wish/2061015994 https://padlet.com/kelseyeaston/Bookmarks/wish/2061019026 gender transformative humanitarian policymaking and programming requires within organization cultural changes. The humanitarian sector has worked to connect with diverse, local actors, but does not embody that same diversity of experiences and identities at all organizational levels. Gender work should not be siloed, but needs to be implemented with those in leadership positions. May need to address and change particular hiring practices.]]> 2022-02-22 17:16:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyeaston/Bookmarks/wish/2061019026 https://padlet.com/kelseyeaston/Bookmarks/wish/2061019079 Connection:
I think that the readings for this week highlight how sexual exploitation and abuse occur within humanitarian organizations, which in turn, I think, helps explain why these issues are also pervasive in the field. To me it seems like this is a culture found in the humanitarian aid sector, so it follows that people would take this culture into the field. ]]> 2022-02-22 17:16:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyeaston/Bookmarks/wish/2061019079 https://padlet.com/kelseyeaston/Bookmarks/wish/2061019648 Connection: Many institutions are not really integrating the values they preach into their own internal operations 
Challenges: I want to challenge the idea that institutions are making meaningful change, until we see more representation from minority-groups in leadership
Concepts: organizations must care for their employees in order to be truly reputable as humanitarian agencies
Changes: demand for a single inter-agency reporting system? ]]> 2022-02-22 17:16:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyeaston/Bookmarks/wish/2061019648 https://padlet.com/kelseyeaston/Bookmarks/wish/2061019776 Changes- There is not enough accountability for leadership in HA organizations for failed promises, protection of workers, etc

That connected to many of this week's readings as different organizations are reckoning with their own internal issues related to gender.

Challenges- Lack of information on women in leadership in the humanitarian sector.
Concepts- Listening exercises.
Changes-  Implementing safeguarding governance in organizations.]]> 2022-02-22 17:17:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyeaston/Bookmarks/wish/2061020677 https://padlet.com/kelseyeaston/Bookmarks/wish/2061022341 1. I am finding alot of connections between the readings and other classes I have taken about women and their interactions in organizations.
2. We need more higher-ups in organizations to make gender a priority.
3. Organizations need to be held accountable for the promises and goals they set.]]> 2022-02-22 17:18:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyeaston/Bookmarks/wish/2061022341 https://padlet.com/kelseyeaston/Bookmarks/wish/2061022393 "Sometimes aid organisations lurch towards addressing buzzwords, like LGBTQI+, in their programming whilst not considering those who work in their organisations and deliver those programmes."]]> 2022-02-22 17:18:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyeaston/Bookmarks/wish/2061022393 https://padlet.com/kelseyeaston/Bookmarks/wish/2061022941 the overarching theme of working more from the bottom-up, both within organizations and with local orgs

Changes
bottom-up approach across the board, decolonizing humanitarian work and getting rid of elitism within larger orgs]]> 2022-02-22 17:18:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyeaston/Bookmarks/wish/2061022941 https://padlet.com/kelseyeaston/Bookmarks/wish/2061023382
Challenge: Continued acknowledgement of how much work needs to be done in the gender space, even within organizations that are recognized for their work. Ex. Oxfam

Concepts: Santos mention that humanitarians argue that transforming gender relations goes against the humanitarian principles. Ex. GBV as cultural practice.

There are significant cultural barriers that exist, and it is critical to approach this from a place of open understanding in mind especially when attempting to provide assistance. Because the majority of these humanitarian spaces are led by Eurocentrics ideals, there are significant prejudices that exists. And, in order to effect change, there must be a level of genuine understanding, which can only be achieved by open communication.]]> 2022-02-22 17:20:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyeaston/Bookmarks/wish/2061026906 https://padlet.com/kelseyeaston/Bookmarks/wish/2061027591 I think the connection between this weeks readings and the #MeToo movement more broadly were interesting. Especially how the greater conversation around #MeToo made it a little easier for people to speak out. ]]> 2022-02-22 17:20:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kelseyeaston/Bookmarks/wish/2061027591
