KEY PRINCIPLES FOR INTERSECTIONALITY-INFORMED POLICYMAKING PROCESS TO SERVE DIVERSE WOMEN, CHILDREN, AND FAMILIES

Grounded in core tenets of intersectionality, the Intersectionality Policymaking Toolkit (IPT) was developed to help policymakers, practitioners, and other stakeholders with their health equity work in the area of maternal and child health. The project is funded by the WK Kellogg Foundation (P0130400) and developed by the Intersectionality Research Institute in collaboration with experts in intersectionality and maternal and child health.

Questions? Want to discuss how the toolkit can help enhance your work and/or develop equitable policies and programs for maternal and child health? Email us at [email protected]

If you would like to receive a copy of the full version of the Toolkit, we ask that you provide us with some additional information so that we can have a better idea of who is accessing it. These metrics allow us to better understand how to build upon this Toolkit and move forward with other related projects. Thank you.
