Male Allyship Toolkit: A Resource for Building Inclusive Workplaces

This comprehensive guide from the HeForShe Alliance has created this resource to help you foster an inclusive environment within the workplace and support men to be allies in pursuit of equality. Rooted in the transforming patriarchal masculinities (TPM) approach, the toolkit encourages men to respectfully disrupt social and institutional structures that privilege men and offers a set of tools, strategies, and insights for building collaborative allyship practices that make a workplace more inclusive. The toolkit is divided into three key steps to support organisations at any stage of their male allyship journey: introducing male allies, developing an active network of male allies, and supporting male allies to make lasting change. The toolkit also offers practical case studies from HeForShe Alliance members that share practical strategies, successful initiatives, and lessons learned in promoting gender equality and supporting male allies. This guide will benefit employees at all levels within organisations, but especially those who seek to deepen their understanding of gender issues and their broader societal impacts.
