| Gender and Development (GAD) is composed
of and run by current Peace Corps volunteers working throughout the world.
The mission of GAD is to educate and promote women's rights and the awareness
of gender issues among the women, men, and youth of Panama and the Peace Corps
community through training, conferences and workshops.
• Gender and Development Conference - February 2010 The group sells a variety of Peace Corps / Panama merchandise, including t-shirts, polo shirts, and soon a series of postcards featuring stunning volunteer photography from around the country. Details including prices and quantities will be coming soon.
GAD sponsors activities throughout the year, including national seminars as well as classes and lectures taken directly to local communities that focus on themes affecting women and families on a local and national level. A sample of topics covered include health and nutrition, sexual and reproductive education, alcohol and drug abuse, parenting skills, cross-gender communication, as well as economic empowerment and organizing. All activities are designed to promote GAD objectives:
