In 2025, Caux Initiatives of Change will develop and pilot a gender-inclusive facilitation framework to be applied during all major events organized or co-organized by Caux Initiatives of Change at the Caux Palace and in Geneva. This framework will ensure: at least 50% gender-balanced representation among moderators and facilitators, clear guidelines for inclusive language, and a feedback loop to track participants’ experience regarding gender safety and representation in facilitation.

By the end of 2025, Caux Initiatives of Change will designate Gender Accountability Champions within the Forum and Encounters planning teams. These champions will: receive targeted training in gender-sensitive programme design, facilitation, and reporting, ensure that each event includes at least one concrete gender equality objective, from speaker balance to inclusive participation mechanisms, and be responsible for submitting a short gender inclusion reflection report after each forum, to feed into the impact review. This internal leadership model will help embed gender equality into the DNA of our Forums and Encounters and support the wider goal of organizational transformation through distributed responsibility.
