Action Alert | Commit to Your Part of Gender Equality in 2022

We’re certain that this is one of many “New Year’s Resolution” themed emails coming to your inbox this week. So we’ll keep it brief. 

A lot has happened this year and 2021 gave us much to think about. With so much to think about and so many problems to solve, deciding where to even begin can get overwhelming. Take a moment to breathe and reflect on how far women have come and how far we still must go to achieve equality in all spaces.

We ask that you commit to tackling gender inequality in 2022. We all know what’s at stake, so we won’t reiterate the data points you see on social media or in press releases. But we do hope that you think about where your talents, passions, and resources can best support the fight for gender equality. It can be as simple as asking, “Where are the women?” in a setting where there are only men present. Or it can be as easy as using the GA Tally to time who talked the most at an event, meeting, or on television. Or it can be as impactful as making sure that the new class of interns at your organization is gender-balanced, includes women of color, and non-binary folks. 

GenderAvenger is committed to ensuring that women’s voices count. By highlighting where women are or are not represented in public dialogue and amplifying voices in the community, we’re doing our part to chip away at the gigantic problem of gender imbalance. We aren’t asking you to take a pledge (yet) but we would love for you to join us by claiming your part in the push for a more gender-equal world.
