Equity Pause: Reflecting on Inclusion and Mitigating Exclusion

In this episode, Lauren and Teia explore the concept of an "Equity Pause" - a critical time for organizations and individuals to pause and reflect on who may be excluded from an evaluation, project, or programme. They discuss how this reflection is an important framework and tool for any non-profit organization or company to be proactive about not causing harm and promoting equity in daily

practice. Lauren and Teia delve into the four key questions that an equity pause could aim to answer

1. What perspectives or voices have been/may be excluded?
2. How are/or might we reinforce inequalities?
3. How are we moving towards more and/or improved equity and inclusion?
4. How can we challenge our assumptions and biases?

This episode is a valuable resource for anyone interested in promoting equity and proactively avoiding harm.
