About Male Champions of Change
The Male Champions of Change strategy is focussed on men stepping up beside women to be accountable for achieving gender equality. Founded in 2010 by the former Sex Discrimination Commissioner, Elizabeth Broderick, Male Champions of Change has now grown to a coalition of over 160 leaders across Australian business and government who collectively employ more than 725,000 people. After seven years of operation, Male Champions of Change has advanced new and innovative approaches to address issues such as flexible work, domestic violence as a workplace issue, the gender pay gap and everyday sexism. As a disruptive strategy, Male Champions of Change has also focussed on gender equality in non-traditional areas, such as sport, the property sector, law enforcement, the military and science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Male Champions of Change was profiled by the UN Secretary General’s High-Level Panel on Women’s Economic Empowerment as an initiative for global scaling.
