You can be a man and also a feminist. Yes, you can.

But then how can you be an ally without taking too much space? How can you create a safe space for colleagues? What actions can you take as a man who wants to make gender equality & women’s rights applied in the workplace?

In this conference, the aim is to better understand one's role as an ally for women, especially BIPoC women, in the company. Using facts and figures to move from intention to action, this conference will focus on the following themes:

  • Intersectionality as a key to understanding other realities

  • Building a culture of empathy and caring

  • What posture to adopt as an ally at work (in particular as an ally of women, BIPOC people, queer people, and religious minorities)

  • How to become an impactful ally
