Feminist Leadership

Our Feminist Leadership training programme is one of the most popular courses at WRC. Through theory, personal reflections and interactive exercises we will explore topics related to feminism, leadership and power that you will be able to apply in your organisation and community.

"This is one of the best training programmes I have ever attended. The content was delivered in a way I could absorb and relate practically to my role and to myself. Thank you"
