Locating Patriarchy
Expand your understanding of systems of oppression that are deeply rooted within patriarchy as well as who and what can uphold patriarchy.
Hello and welcome to Bakau Consulting’s Locating Patriarchy course! Locating Patriarchy expands our understanding of systems of oppression that are deeply rooted within patriarchy as well as who and what can uphold patriarchy.
In this course, we identify the origins of gendered hierarchies while examining the link between colonialism, imperialism and gender. We will also move far beyond the workplace to discuss where patriarchy is learned and our place within it, as well as how our intersecting identities may be marginalized and privileged in nuanced ways within patriarchy.
As you complete this course, we hope that you will be able to see how patriarchy affects you and how we can radically hope for a different reality. Before you complete this course, we ask that you take time to go through the pre-readings that will be provided later on.
Length: 6-7 hours. Available on-demand with no expiry.
Effectively use an intersectional lens to understand how patriarchy affects us as individuals, and a society.
Understand how patriarchy, intersectionality, and colonialism are intertwined and how they contribute to internalized patriarchy.
Develop the skills to envision a real and radical future that exists beyond patriarchal rule.
Be able to recognize and call out internalized patriarchy while creating an environment of self-reflection.

Summary
Our work often requires emotional labour, so we want to offer trusted resources for folks to access the support they deserve. Bakau has partnered with Healing in Colour to provide professional help to our community members.
In this partnership, we encourage employers to cover the costs of their employee’s sessions. Mental health professionals can bill employers directly, keeping their employee’s identities anonymous.
Healing in Colour offers a directory of BIPOC therapists committed to supporting BIPOC — in all intersections.
Healing in Colour is committed to anti-oppressive values in everything they do. Their values are pro-queer, pro-trans, pro-sex worker, pro-Black, pro-Indigenous, and anti-colonial. They actively work to disrupt power in all they do and to be responsible and accountable to the communities they serve.
