??For women working with grassroots organisations in remote locations, work-related travel brings with it a two-pronged challenge: organisational budgetary constraints and safety concerns. ??To navigate this, social impact organisations operating in such a context discourage sending women alone for fieldwork or have male colleagues accompany them. The lack of safe travel options is one of the barriers impacting women’s workplace participation and safety. ??Find this and many more insights in EquiLead's study Unpacking Gender-Equitable Leadership in Organisations: Insights and Strategies. Stay tuned! ?If you have a recommendation for enabling safe travel for women in social impact organisations, write to us at [email protected]. #WomenInLeadership #InclusiveWorkplaces #LeadWithEquity

??Continuing the learnings from our residential program, we hosted the first virtual session with our Gender Accelerator Program’s inaugural cohort. This session, Beyond Compliance: Strengthening PoSH Implementation, focused on strengthening workplace safety beyond legal mandates. A huge thank you to our facilitators, Meghana Srinivas and Nitya S. from TrustIn, for leading an insightful and action-driven discussion. We also appreciate the active participation of Transform Rural India, ACCESS Development Services, Indus Action, Pratham Education Foundation, Professional Assistance For Development Action (PRADAN), Rocket Learning, Janaagraha, and S M Sehgal Foundation for their engagement and commitment to action! Here are some of the takeaways from the session: ? The PoSH compliance scorecard offered a reality check on where organizations stand in policy implementation. ? Understanding intersectionality—caste, class, gender, disability, and regionality—showed why every case of sexual harassment is complex and requires a nuanced approach. ? A structured guide on “must-have” and “good-to-have” policies highlighted key steps for safer workplaces. ? Organizations drafted a 3-year action plan to bridge existing gaps in PoSH implementation. This is just the beginning. As the cohort progresses, we look forward to continued learning, action, and impact in strengthening gender-equitable workplaces. #GenderAccelerator #PoSH #InclusiveWorkplaces #WomenInLeadership

??DEI principles foster representation and participation of marginalised groups, including women, caste minorities, LGBTQ+ individuals, persons with disabilities, and other marginalised communities. ??While the concept of DEI is still novel to a majority of Indian social impact organisations, a massive number of organisations are navigating their way to adapt, frame and implement. ??EquiLead study, Unpacking Gender-Equitable Leadership in Organizations: Insights and Strategies, captures diverse DEI workplace practices and recommendations on how organisations can improve further to create spaces for disadvantaged groups, ensuring their voices are heard and valued. ??Aware of DEI initiatives at your organisation?
