On The Verandah – Episode 4: Allyship
What does it mean to have and be an ally? Join Debjani Sarkar and Lameesa Yousuf On the Verandah for a conversation about allyship with Gerhana Waty and Craig Czarny.
Location: Online event
Date: 20 March 2024
What is an ally and how can allies make a difference to individual careers? How can allyship be acquired, utilised and harnessed to counteract unconscious biases in practice and improve equity for all?
Why do allies matter? Allyship is an important tool for addressing bias and inequity. The data on cultural and gender pay gaps reveals significant inequity within the profession. This data indicates that people from Asia, proportionally experience more barriers rising to senior levels of the profession, and that this impacts women most strongly. These findings, while not shocking, reflect a systemic issue in the way labour is valued within practice and beyond. They point to unacceptable biases within the profession that need to be dismantled – and allyship is one tool for doing this.
Join Parlour On the Verandah for another invigorating conversation exploring the power and importance of allies.
