#BreakTheBias
Individually, we’re all responsible for our own thoughts and actions – all day, every day. We can break the bias in our communities. We can break the bias in our workplaces. We can break the bias in our schools, colleges and universities. Together, we can all break the bias.
This year, for International Women’s Day WorkEqual are once again hosting a campaign to get people talking, and to raise awareness of the work done by the charity every day to champion change, and to support women to secure opportunities, networks and the chance of economic independence and greater equality.
This is an important campaign in WorkEqual’s calendar with a focus of making some noise on the very different perspectives and intersectionality of bias and how we empower further progress in this area, and also to fund and power our work through corporate support.
Empowering Progress – Event with Business and Finance
The Business and Finance run and promoted event in partnership with One4all, will invite several speakers and very diverse perspectives to talk to companies across Ireland about what bias means to them, what change looks like from their perspective, and how we can drive change and progress further.
Radio and social media campaign
This will involve diversity and inclusion messaging and solutions based pointers on empowering further progress and greater equality at work.
