Reflection tool: How is your intersectional practice?

Use this tool to reflect on the impact of your positions and actions and identify strengths and weaknesses in how you, your team, and your organisation practices intersectionality

About this tool

This tool is from a resource called ‘Lens on, hands on: An Intersectional Guide to Financial Capability Program Development,’ created by Good Shepherd Australia & New Zealand, WIRE and Women with Disabilities Victoria, as part of the Women’s Financial Capabilities Project. This content in this resource was led by a co-design process which engaged First Nations women, women from migrant, refugee, and asylum seeker backgrounds and women with disabilities.

Whose views are important?
