Diversity and Inclusion Manager

In the words of world-renowned feminist and activist, Gloria Steinem, the story of women’s struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any organisation, but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights. I believe change is driven by collective activism, which can range from grassroots efforts to widespread shifts in organisational culture. 

Achieving gender equity requires more than just women fighting for it. In my role, I lead in formulating and executing strategies, programs, and initiatives designed to cultivate an environment where every employee feels cherished, respected, and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives and experiences. My work is not only a bridge between the different levels of the organisation but also acts as a driving force behind the advancement of diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout the organisation. As the Diversity and Inclusion Manager I help foster transformation in our organizational culture by conducting awareness-raising and training for staff and supporting managers and leaders to foster an inclusive and identity-sensitive culture and lead by example. I collaborate with the Gender Advisor to conduct trainings and workshops for staff and, when relevant, of partners to ensure the workplace is gender-sensitive, inclusive, and equitable and that women are supported adequately to take up more technical leadership roles. I am honoured to be part of an organisation that seeks to amplify the voices of women and to be part of the organisational shift towards building a more inclusive and equitable MAG.

It is clear from everyone I have met and everything I have seen already that at the heart of MAG is a collective of people with dedication for supporting the communities afflicted by conflict. It is a privilege to join a family making a real and lasting difference in people's lives.
