Resources for Women
This section - which is
aimed at both trainers and end users - offers links to
resources specifically targeted at women. The resources are divided into the
following categories:
"Target audience" under each
listing tells you whether the resource is aimed at end-users
("General"), end-users and trainers ("General
and Trainers") or only at Trainers. Resources
designated as aimed at trainers include, for example,
workshop curricula, PowerPoint presentations and worksheets.
For additional resources which are not
specifically women-focussed use the navigation panel on the
left-hand side of this page.
