Reimagining Equity
Equity for Women, Equity for All
It’s time to reimagine equity, the foundation of an inclusive workplace.
This quarter, we will focus on gender equity, intersectionality, and gender partnership. Organizations working to advance equity must acknowledge and address the unique barriers to success faced by women with multiple marginalized identities. But ensuring equity for all means engaging everyone in gender equity efforts. Through gender partnership, people of all genders can learn to work together to build a more equitable and inclusive workplace. Catalyst research and tools can show you how.
