Rekrytera brett - Interfem's current project

From January 1 to December 31 Interfem is carrying out a project called "Rekrytera brett" with funding from Ungdomsstyrelsen. The project aims to prevent and combat racism and sexism in the workplace and particularly focuses on strengthening the role and influence of racialized* women and racialized transpeople within unions. Work will be carried out with unions in order to improve and extend their work on equality and diversity. This will be done through providing the gender equity and diversity officers of respective unions training and on how to change and counteract racism and sexism in the workplace and how they, in turn, can train union representatives.

 

Lunch gathering with Interfem at Medborgarplatsen's library May 16 12:00 -1:30pm

 

Welcome to Interfem's lunch gatherings!

At the first lunch gathering Interfem will present its new project on the prevention of racism and sexism in the workplace. It would be great to have you at our gatherings and share with us your experiences in the workplace or while trying to get work of racism and sexism or how you have responded to them.

The goal with the lunch gatherings is to create a space where racialized* women and/or racialized transpeople can create both a support group and a network and help each other in getting started in work life.

Place: Medborgarplatsen's library, Medborgarplatsen 2. T-bana Medborgarplatsen.
