Creating Inclusive Workplaces

“Equality Institute transformed how we approach complex systems change, giving us a sharper framework and the tools to match. Through an empathetic and deeply informed process, they brought together perspectives from experts, our team, young people, and priority population groups to help us develop our first Theory of Change. Khayshie Tilak Ramesh and Sharon Smee were especially instrumental, and we’re grateful for their contribution to this work.”

“EQI brought a high level of professionalism, expertise, and initiative to our engagement. Their thoughtful and tailored approach helped us navigate complex gender equality challenges with clarity and confidence. They delivered insightful, actionable advice and fostered inclusive dialogue across our team. We highly recommend their services to any organisation committed to advancing gender equity.”

“Two years ago, we approached Emma and her team with a vision. We wanted equality education that was impactful, innovative and could shift the hearts and minds of our team members. Luckily for us, Emma and her team shared our vision and were up for the challenge. It has been a pleasure to work with Equality Institute in creating this ground-breaking education which we launched in October. MECCA team members have described the content as beautiful, thought-provoking, considered and deeply moving. It is already changing hearts and minds as we had hoped.”

“The depth of thinking is really evident in the way that they communicate in their written materials. So many people pile on to the prevention of violence bandwagon at times with such a simplistic view of violence. But what I think is wonderful is EQI are not like that at all. They are incredibly evidence based, incredibly expert and have a real nuance on complex topics. They’re absolutely well known for the quality of their work.”

“We would love to be able to work with EQI again in the future, not only did you go above and beyond with meeting the scope of work requirements, but you took us on a learning journey.”

“The Equality Institute’s GIA training was a game-changer for my organisation. The practical case study, insightful content, and engaging facilitation empowered me to apply a gender lens effectively. The interactive approach and thorough discussions ensured a comprehensive understanding. Highly recommended for transformative gender analysis!”
