About the event
Do you know what the key to advancing gender equality is? It’s men. Women are at a disadvantage. At home, they often face an unequal division of household chores and childcare. In the workplace, they deal with lower pay, lack of credit for their contributions, roadblocks to a promotion, sexual harassment, and more. Gender-in-the-workplace experts and co-authors David Smith and Brad Johnson make the business case for male engagement in gender equality while integrating why it is suitable for both men and women.
