This program focuses on capacity building of people in addressing gender issues. Bedari does it through gender sensitization trainings.

Social workers, human rights activists and NGO employees have all the good intentions, but may not be aware and sensitive about the basics of women rights and gender mainstreaming. Bedari organizes gender sensitization training of people involved in social sector. This is a very effective activity in diverting the resources in the right direction. It is about raising awareness and sensitizing people about the basic human rights of women and girls. It is very important for a society like Pakistan, where majority of women are living almost in apartheid condition, and people are so conditioned that they perceive discrimination against women as natural. Some major training topics are ‘engendering work environment’, ‘gender sensitive communication skills’, ‘gender training for men’.

Bedari arranges theater trainings for communities, students of colleges and universities, and staff of other NGOs. The trainings may cover a period of 3 to 5 days. Bedari arranges theater training workshops at its office, and sends its trainers to the communities as well.

Bedari offers gender training packages to organizations for their whole staff. Bedari customizes training according to the organization’s needs.
