This report summarizes the discussions during the third Virtual Dialogue hosted by the UN Women Training Centre’s Community of Practice (CoP) on how we can collectively develop a theory of transformation through training for gender equality. The Virtual Dialogue discussed what do we want to change or transform through training, and how do we want to transform it? How will we know that such change or transformation has occurred through training for gender equality? The report highlights the importance of transforming gender roles, stereotypes and power structures, the need to challenge privileges and the status quo, and the fact that training is only a 'piece of the puzzle' along with other strategies for transformation.
