Feminist Edge 2026

Feminist Edge offers professional development for gender trainers that re-captures and re-imagines gender training, as a feminist project, establishing a new approach to training for gender equality. It repositions training for gender equality as a strategy to challenge and engender mainstream development and support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

The program addresses the need to (re)claim autonomous spaces for feminist knowledge production and challenges development policy makers and practitioners to re-think how to address social and gender inequity to ensure that “no one is left behind.” Feminist Edge focusses both on the practice of gender training and on its conceptual underpinnings.

This six-month certificate program offered by KIT and UN Women Training Centre aims to:

• Sharpen training skills and knowledge of gender and development concepts as a gender equality trainer.
• Enable participants to better employ learning and knowledge strategies.
• Support participants to re-claim training for gender equality as a political feminist process.
• Refresh participants skills and knowledge as gender equality trainers and renew commitment to gender training as a transformative process.
