  1. Working Across Difference: Making the movement for “Health for All” a movement that welcomes all

  2. Non-discrimination is one of the basic principles of human rights and democracy. Community participation is a principle of PHC. How do we realize these principles in our work? Beyond that, how can we achieve active participation of the people most effected by the policies we oppose?

  3. Gender Nationality Ethnicity, “race” Language, accent Different abilities Caste Culture Sexual orientation Rural or urban dweller Level of education/literacy Class Some differences between us:

  4. “If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you have always got.”

  5. Levels of Change - 1 • Personal Level: • How we behave as individuals can promote inclusion or exclusion. Examples: (body) language, listening, outreach, giving up control, examining privilege • Leaders within the movement must model acceptance of others and welcoming behavior • Get out of your “comfort zone” • Mentoring

  6. Levels of Change - 2 • Organizational Level: • Inclusion of marginalised groups from beginning of processes, accepting leadership from them • Explicit statements of inclusion • Attention to language of presentations, materials, documents • Action to facilitate participation of most affected by poor health such as targeted outreach, mentoring, addressing obstacles

  7. Small Group Activity: Step 1 • Break into pairs with someone you don’t know well • Take 10 minutes each to answer the questions:When was the first time you remember that you were excluded because of something like your gender, ethnicity, religion, etc.? What happened?Tell about a time when you were able to participate fully in a group activity? What happened? What did it feel like?

  8. Small Group Activity: Step 2 • Combine with 2 other groups (6 people) • Tell one of the stories of your partner to the group. Try to include some from each question. • In the larger group discuss the question:What can PHM do to improve our inclusion of under-represented and marginalised groups?
