Overview
In 2015, the UK government passed the Modern Slavery Act aiming to combat Modern Slavery. Since then, other governments have followed suit and citizens of many countries have become more aware that slavery is not only a past but a very real and present problem that touches us all. But has any of this made any tangible difference to the lives of those blighted by slavery, violence and exploitation?
On the International Day for the Abolition of Slavery 2020, this webinar explored these questions with the help of an expert panel. We heard:
-
An up-to-date global picture of the state of modern slavery from the world’s largest anti-slavery organisation
-
from Alianore Smith from International Justice Mission
-
-
An independent progress report on the UK Government’s approach to tackling modern slavery by the report’s author
-
from Peter Grant from Agulhas Consulting
-
-
How leaders can build on their organisations’ modern slavery statement to really make a difference and
-
How individual citizens can play their part in eradicating modern slavery
-
both from Adrian Lock, Founding Director of Deeper Leaders
-
-
How chocoholics can help end modern slavery
-
from Nicola aka ‘The Countess of Cocoa’, UK & Ireland Marketing Manager, Tony’s Chocolonely
-
This recording is 32 minutes long.
Overview
We’ve had legislation to combat discrimination, training to combat bias, reviews and targets to improve representation. And we’ve seen some improvements.
But in 2021, in the UK and in many countries across the world, female representation at the most senior levels is still way behind and career progression still isn’t a level playing field. For many, the initiatives introduced to address the issue can feel patronising and tokenistic.
This is not a ‘women’s issue’. And it’s not about fixing the women or blaming the men. It’s a fundamental leadership issue for organisations, with the possibility of enabling new and exciting ways forward through a greater balance.
In this webinar, Dr Sue Congram of the EB Centre shares from her research and work on engendering balance, with Avivah Wittenberg-Cox of 20-first joining her in the chat. (The recording of Avivah's presentation was only available to us for 30 days after the event). See Avivah's various TED talks on You Tube to hear more of her approach.
