Virtual Roundtable on Active Allyship: Engaging Leaders in Gender Equity
**This WiBF Masterclass offers CPD Points (1 pt)**
Masterclass date: Friday 17th April 2026
Gender equity is often framed as a solely benefitting women but in reality greater equality benefits everyone. True progress is only possible when men, who are over-represented in senior leadership positions, become active participants in the change. While many men express support for gender equality, far fewer actively challenge bias, call out double standards, or advocate for systemic change.
This is where the real opportunity lies.
What We’ll Discuss:
- The Power of Active Allyship: Why “believing in equality” isn’t enough—and what differentiates performative allyship from meaningful action.
- Beyond Optics: Embedding Accountability: How some organisations are creating accountability regarding gender equity efforts (including KPIs and leadership evaluations)
- Single-Gender Learning Spaces: The role of men-only and women-only spaces in unpacking
