Abstract

Gender equality can be attained through gender inclusivity. This study uncovers the gender inequalities experienced by the 40 participants of the Training of Trainors (TOT) on Gender and Inclusion at Ateneo de Manila University conducted by Trias Southeast Asia using phenomenological inquiry. Results revealed participants had experienced discrimination in school, in the workplace, in the community and even in their own family. Hence a safe space, understanding power and stereotypes, dealing with gender and gender stereotypes, inclusion, diversity, equity, accessibility and social justice (IDEAS), and vision were the factors needed in creating a gender inclusive society

Keywords: Gender Equality; Gender Inclusivity; Discrimination; Safe Space; Power; Vision
