What is the Gender Equity Team? The TUCW Gender Equity Team has grown out of what started as the #MeToo Council. As we worked, an awareness evolved that the abuses and harms related to #MeToo stem from a much broader context of intersecting oppressions involving gender. Click here for the Gender Equity Team's Charter to learn more about what we do. Anyone interested in working on Gender Equity issues is invited to contact Cheryl Paul or Sudha Sankar.
