Qualified on the content I am responsible for because: because I am the gender specialist at Peace Corps with the responsibility of responding to gender issues that volunteers encounter. Many of the topics that emerge are gender inequality and violence. Volunteers are trained to facilitate discussions around these topics to motivate community action, and in a culturally appropriate way. Some of the training volunteers receive are part of the gender continuum.
