CSW69: Where are the men?
How men can become stakeholders and allies for gender equality
Date: 19-03-2025Time: 19.00 - 20.30 Location: Live Online Event via Zoom
Gender equality is not a "women's issue"
In the EU, men still hold 65% of leadership and decision-making roles. As political debates grow more polarised and progress on gender equality is being pushed back, this moment presents a crucial opportunity for men to take a leading role in advancing gender equality. Studies consistently show that more diverse leadership benefits everyone—both men and women—by increasing profitability and improving decision-making.
Where are the men when it comes to supporting a gender-equal society?
Join speakers Martin Speer, Helene Banner and Jens van Tricht for a thought-provoking and engaging virtual conversation. From their intimate work with men and women in leadership roles, they will share experience and explore strategies to involve men as active contributors to achieving gender equity:
- Why should men engage on gender equality at all?
- How can we best address the hesitation and frustration that many men express about the "gender equality" debate?
- What can men, women and organisations do to support more men becoming allies for gender equality?
