Speaker: Aruna Rao Chair: Naila Kabeer Recorded on 24 January 2014 in TW1 G.01, Tower One. We are pleased to announce that Aruna Rao, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Gender at Work, will be delivering a lunchtime seminar. How can change be made to happen to disrupt the deep structures of gender inequality in the programs, policies and every-day practices of social change organizations, mainstream development agencies and systems? This presentation will use the Gender at Work analytical matrix as a 'lens' to examine this question in a set of organizations, assess outcomes, and highlight key questions and challenges.
