Facilitating an NHRI Gender Audit
0.20 – 0.40
Session 1: Gather thoughts and ideas
Invite each participant to think about the extent to which
gender equality is built into the systems and processes
of the NHRI and ask them to list:
• three things the NHRI does well to promote gender
equality, and
• three areas where the NHRI could improve its
promotion of gender equality.
0.40 – 1.10
Session 2: Collate thoughts and ideas
Focus on the things the NHRI does well and ask each
participant to read out what they have written. Repeat
this process, focusing on the things the NHRI could
improve on.

everyone, review the themes and discuss:
• whether there are any additional thoughts they have,
or would like to add to the themes
• how the NHRI could strengthen what it already does
well, and
• how the NHRI could address the areas it could
improve on.
If you have more than six participants, you can do this
in smaller groups using a facility such as ‘Zoom Rooms’
with a feedback session.
