SUMMARY:Appraising unconscious bias: gender\, ethnicity\, race\, sexual o
 rientation and gender diversity (SOGI)\, and neurodiversity globally
DESCRIPTION:At the proposal of the Diversity and Inclusion Council\, at t
 he start of 2024 the IBA launched an online Coassemble diversity and inc
 lusion training programme and encouraged all Officers to use it as a mea
 ns of gaining a practical understanding of how unconscious bias compromi
 ses the way we interact with others. The Diversity and Inclusion Council
  also supported and assisted the IBA European Region Forum to launch a D
 iversity and Inclusion (D&amp\;I) Toolkit to assist law firms in similar
  endeavours.\n\n\nUnderlying the launch of these tools was the desire to
  enhance diversity and inclusion by providing the skills to identify how
  unconscious bias affect our day-to-day business and inter-personal inte
 ractions and how to neutralise its constrain.\n\n\nThis session will sha
 re data on how gender imbalances in the IBA have improved (or not) and f
 urther discuss how our cultural background due principally to our upbrin
 ging conditions the way in which we interact with others in a manner tha
 t compromises diversity and inclusion without realising not only in area
 s of gender\, but also in areas such as ethnic origins\, race\, SOGI and
  neurodiversity.\n\n\n\nSternford Moyo passed away unexpectedly on 5 Jul
 y 2024. Sternford’s leadership\, integrity\, and courage is profoundly m
 issed at the IBA. Over the years\, Sternford held various important role
 s in our Association – including Co-Chair of the IBA’s Human Rights Inst
 itute (IBAHRI) and more recently our first IBA President from Africa (20
 21 to 2023). As President\, Sternford showed an unwavering support for d
 iversity and inclusion within the Association. Just a few weeks prior to
  his sad passing\, Sternford graciously agreed to join this panel to spe
 ak regarding diversity and inclusion from the perspective of race. The D
 iversity and Inclusion Council would like to take this opportunity to ac
 knowledge and honour Sternford's incredible commitment to the protection
  of those most vulnerable through adherence to the rule of law and promo
 tion of human rights and human dignity for all.\n
