Awareness, empathy, understanding, and allies are at the heart of any strong Employee Resource Group. Our Ally & Awareness Encourages awareness, empathy and understanding about critical topics related to women in security by recognizing allies and keeping discussions on diversity topics at the forefront.

What does it mean to be a WIHS Ally?

​

Allies are security industry males or someone from outside the security industry (female or male) who advocates for equity, diversity, and inclusion. That can start with as little as being open to a conversation around these subjects or supporting diversity-focused events.

​

Examples of ally actions:

​

• Creating safe spaces for women to be authentic and speak up

• Providing growth opportunities equally among male and female workers

• Giving credit where credit is due

• Speaking up when witnessing unfair situations

• Encouraging dialog regarding diversity and inclusion with colleagues

• Having awareness about women’s challenges
