Podcast: The intersectionality approach in the Make Way Programme

The first episode will begin by defining intersectionality—including its origins in Black feminism. The guests – our Make Way colleagues  –  will also introduce the Make Way program.

The second episode will highlight community perspectives. In addition to hearing from service providers, this episode also features the voices of community members who experience the challenges of obtaining SRH services on a daily basis. They discuss how their identities—including disability, economic status, gender and more–—have led to unique needs, challenges, and opportunities obtaining FP and SRH services. These individuals also offer recommendations for better meeting their needs.

For the third episode, program implementers talk about tools and approaches that others can use to ensure that policies, programs, and services are more inclusive and accessible to all. The guests share their implementation experiences—including successes and failures—and give tips for others who may be new to using the intersectional approach.

Inside the FP Story is available on the Knowledge SUCCESS website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Stitcher. You can also find relevant tools and resources, along with French transcripts of each episode, at KnowledgeSUCCESS.org.
