I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.
Personal Commitments
Add a box in the staff evaluation document for colleagues to have the opportunity to write something about whether and / or how they feel or perceive their gender / sexual / racial / ethnic / religious / cultural identity, ability status or any other such factor impacts their role and existence within the organisation.
Commit to using language in all future publications, documents and meetings that is inclusive and neutral, where practicable and where there are no specific and justifiable reasons that require a different approach.
