Coffee Stories #7: Taking a Closer Look at Gender

Take a coffee break with KIT Institute and learn more about gender and how to start recognising gender issues or inequality by digging a little deeper.

Gender inequality exists everywhere (yes, also in Western countries), but it shows up differently to everyone. KIT Institute’s Gender Advisor Ana Victoria Portocarrero Lacayo invites us to develop a gender lens — not through lectures, but through conversation. “The goal of gender work is to spark conversations that help individuals recognise gender inequality in their own lives and contexts“, she says. “Once you start going into a deeper layer of analysis, you always find moments in which there was a gender issue permeating your life.“

How do coffee farmers experience gender (in)equality in their lives and work?
