Men Pay For Toilet Paper In Public Restrooms (Like Women Do For Tampons)
Men’s needs are completely met in public restrooms. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for women who, in 2020, still don’t have access to pads and tampons in most public restrooms. Many men don’t realize it's a problem because it’s not their problem, and yet, men predominantly control most buildings, facilities, and c-suites. So how do we get m…

#AcceptanceMatters
The concept of acceptance virtually defines Mastercard’s products and services. Having your name on a Mastercard effectively allows retailers to “accept” you at the point of sale. But in recent years, acceptance has taken on an even deeper meaning for the brand. For many in the LGBTQIA+ community, the name on their card does not reflect their t…

The Moment
In 2019, Citi released their raw pay gap data —the first financial institution to do so. We’ve all heard about the gender pay gap, but it’s about more than equal pay. It’s also about female representation in senior leadership. When Citi published their pay gap numbers, they discovered this was the area in which they fell short. To fix this problem…

The Pledge for Paternity Leave
Since 2010, Dove Men+Care has been committed to expanding men’s opportunities to care by addressing stereotypes around masculinity, fatherhood and sports. In 2018, the brand grew its purpose from simply celebrating the caring role of men to driving action around an issue that’s been preventing dads from caring – the lack of paternity leave. Thr…

A Piece Of Me
For decades, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) has promoted the abandonment of female genital mutilation (FGM); an extreme violation of the rights of women and girls, and a manifestation of deeply entrenched gender inequality. With 68 million girls at risk of being mutilated by 2030, UNFPA had to reach beyond its usual audience in the developmen…

CMT Equal Play
Equal Play does not exist for female artists in country music. Women’s powerful voices and legendary songs have defined country music, yet they are not played, streamed, toured, signed, or awarded at a level they deserve. The 2019 Annenberg Inclusion Initiative found only 16% of all country artists are female. Dr. Jada E. Watson’s 2019 Gender Representat…
