We should all be champions for gender equality and inclusiveness. I look forward to continuing to promote these values across the HCCH and working to break down barriers in all aspects of our work.

I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.

I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.

Personal Commitments

Give space in the staff assessment for comments / discussions about how the staff member feels or perceives their role and existence within the organization in light of their gender / gender identity / sexual orientation and whether that has an impact or an effect on how they are treated at work or how they view their work. What intersectional factors are there that interplay with this experience (race, language, disability etc).
Where practicable, use language in all future publications that is neutral and non-gendered.
