CEO-level leaders engage ‘head and heart’ in the strategy by committing their time, visible leadership, and accountability for their organisation’s progress on gender equality.
The strategy relies on each Champion’s deep, personal commitment to gender equality. They listen to the experiences and ideas of their teams. They learn from each other, other leaders and successful approaches to gender equality. Together, they develop and implement actions to shift entrenched systems which have historically served to disadvantage women in the workplace and society.
Members see achieving gender equality and advancing more and diverse women in leadership as a business, economic, social and human rights imperative. Members meet together regularly in small action-orientated groups centered around a collective work plan, where they learn from and challenge their peers. As a Coalition we work collectively to publicly share our learnings and our progress. As individuals Members implement change within their organisations and publicly advocate for gender equality.
By working together within and across multiple sectors, the Coalition has a demonstrated it can make a significant and sustainable contribution to the vision for a truly gender-equal world.
