Allyship
21 March 2025
12.30—1.30pm
What does it mean to have and by an ally? Join Debjani Sarkar and Lameesa Yousuf On the Verandah for a conversation about allyship with Gerhana Waty and Craig Czarny.

This session of On the Verandah takes a close look at the value and power of allyship, with Gerhana Waty and Craig Czarny.
What is an ally and how can allies make a difference to individual careers? How can allyship be acquired, utilised and harnessed to counteract unconscious biases in practice and improve equity for all?
Why do allies matter? Allyship is an important tool for addressing bias and inequity. The data on cultural and gender pay gaps reveals significant inequity within the profession. This data indicates that people from Asia, proportionally experience more barriers rising to senior levels of the profession, and that this impacts women most strongly. These findings, while not shocking, reflect a systemic issue in the way labour is valued within practice and beyond. They point to unacceptable biases within the profession that need to be dismantled – and allyship is one tool for doing this.
Join us On the Verandah for another invigorating conversation exploring the power and importance of allies.
