What is Diversity?  Diversity is all of the ways we are different from one another.  These differences can lead to inequality in society  Power is given to certain individuals and groups.  Not everyone is given equal opportunity or resources.  Some interests and needs are acknowledged and some are not valued. ( Adams et al. 2000)

What is Oppression?  1. the exercise of authority or power in a burdensome, cruel, or unjust manner.  2. an act or instance of oppressing.oppressing  3. the state of being oppressed.oppressed  4. the feeling of being heavily burdened, mentally or physically, by troubles, adverse conditions, anxiety, etc.

What is Social Justice?  Is the full participation of all groups in a society that is designed to meet the needs of all people regardless of their differences.  This happens through:  All people working together to create change  Being inclusive and celebrating differences.

Thompson’s PCS Model (2006)  Oppression happens at the P ersonal level, C ultural level and at the S tructural level.  Personal- oppression through individual thoughts, feelings, attitudes and actions.  Cultural- shared ways of thinking and doing. Assumed consensus about what is “right” and what is “normal”  Structural- How oppression is simply a part of society. –Oppression in laws, policies and institutions.

Privilege- What is it?  A special advantage, immunity, permission, right, or benefit granted to or enjoyed by an individual, class, or caste  “ I do not have privilege because of who I am as a person or because of what I have done. Rather, I have privilege because of the social categories that for the most part I was born into.” – Mullaly (2010)  Privilege is granted and birth is the easiest way of being granted privilege. Bailey (2004, 307)

So what does all of this mean?  It is important as we work with each other as co-workers and with the women and families we are serving that we:  Acknowledge and value the differences in others.  Reflect on who we are and think about how this impacts our own attitudes, thoughts and actions.  Challenge oppression and discrimination in our environment.  Treat all people with respect and dignity.

Influencing Change  We can influence change at all levels however we have the most influence on changing ourselves.  The first step is self awareness. “ Be the change you want to see in this world.”- Gandhi

Self Awareness Exercises  Identity Wheel  Awareness of Identity Questions  Privilege and Disadvantage Inventory  Share thoughts and feelings collectively as a group. (Sharing is optional).
