“Where we clearly need more improvement is in the inclusion of women in mediation and leadership roles in the OSCE and other international organizations. … Again, this is not about ‘doing a favor‘ for women – this is to make better policy and improve outcomes for all.”

 

I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.

I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.

Personal Commitments

I will encourage everyone serving in the U.S. Mission to the OSCE to complete the U.S. State Department online course “Mitigating Unconscious Bias” before the end of 2024.
I will participate in at least two OSCE-based "Men for Gender Equality Network" events this year to engage and encourage at least two other OSCE male leaders to become International Gender Champions.
