My Pledge

What is my pledge?

My Pledge is an initiative aimed at ensuring more diversity at public events in line with the recent #NoWomenNoPanel initiative .

BECOME INVOLVED

Keep advocating for gender balance at public forums. Actively encourage diversity by promoting female subject matter experts.

WHY MY PLEDGE?

The absence of gender diversity at public professional forums does not reflect economic reality. The lack of diversity limits the quality of the conversation and potential outcomes. Fewer women as role models implies fewer female attendees which perpetuates the vicious cycle. Fewer men talking about childcare, part time working and other related topics are also highlighting a lack of diversity. That is why we created a speaker group for progressive men.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

As business and political leaders, we pledge that whenever we are invited to a public speaking event, we will inquire about the organiser’s efforts to ensure gender diversity as detailed on the right.

Pledgers will also actively encourage less experienced speakers to take the stage by referring them to Equilibre and by proposing them to the event organisers.

THE PLEDGE

I pledge to advocate for gender diversity on panels and at public speaking events by asking the following questions when organising an event, sending my employees to events to speak, attending an event (speaker or attendee) or sponsoring an event in any form.
