1. I will call it out when I see or hear gender stereotypes or bias.

3. I will listen more openly to everyone, of all genders.
4. I will value and celebrate women's contributions and achievements more.
5. I will actively support Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) education initiatives for both girls and boys.
6. I will buy more often from women-owned businesses.
7. I will boycott brands and products where advertising stereotypes women.
8. I will volunteer my time or resource to a women's charity or initiative.
9. I will consider offering part-time roles for working mothers when I am recruiting.
