The Australia New Zealand Policing Advisory Agency’s National Institute of Forensic Science (ANZPAA NIFS) launched Engender Change on behalf of the Australia New Zealand Forensic Executive Committee (ANZFEC) on 26 October 2020. The initiative aims to transform diversity and inclusion culture in the forensic community through leadership.
The program’s initial activities focus on challenging the everyday actions and language that are used that contribute to gender issues that do not foster a sense of inclusiveness.
For the first time, the forensic community has come together as a collective to systematically address inclusivity and acknowledge that gender equity has far reaching benefits.
The full Everyday Commitment Statement, advocate honour roll and more details on the program (including how to become an Engender Change advocate) can be found on via the 'Program Information' and 'Everyday Commitment' webpages. More information can also be found on the Media Release.
