As part of Haymarket’s celebration of Pride Month 2024, and in alignment with UN SDG 4: Quality Education, UN SDG 5: Gender Equality, our commitment to DEI, we hear from a selection of journalists around the world, to delve into some of their LGBTQIA+ related content. Tara finds out more about their work, its impact, the inspiration behind it and any stereotypes of misconceptions they challenged.

Pride Month a dedicated time to recognise and celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community, acknowledging their contributions, culture, and history. At the same time, it is a powerful reminder of their resilience and strength. So many have fought, and continue to fight for their rights and acceptance in society. While progress has been made that should be celebrated, there are still many challenges and injustices that the LGBTQIA+ community faces worldwide, as our interviewees will delve into shortly.

We have a fantastic selection of guests sharing their stories and work, spanning Haymarket’s UK, US and Asia teams. Thanks to Steve Barrett, VP, Editorial Director, PRWeek US and Campaign US, Pat Anderson, Editor of MIMS Learning, Bailey Calfee, Premium Reporter at Campaign US, Jenny Roper, in our Wonderly division and editor of Work. magazine produced on behalf of the CIPD, Shawn Lim, tech and media editor at Campaign Asia Pacific, and Matthew Eck, Medical Editor of Endocrinology Advisor.

The theme for this year’s International Women's Day is inspire inclusion. There shouldn’t be just one day a year to shine a spotlight on the power of inclusion in driving positive change for women everywhere, but International Women's Day serves as a really important moment to reflect, educate and learn about the ongoing journey towards gender equality and inclusivity. Because unfortunately, we really still aren’t there yet.

At Haymarket, we have just celebrated the one year anniversary of our revamped global sustainability agenda - Impact, which is centred closely around the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

In just a year we’ve managed to achieve some pretty big milestones, including a global content audit of our 70+ brands, to measure how our external voice is aligned with our Impact agenda.

One of the SDGs Impact aligns closely with is Gender Equality - and our content audit has captured various pieces of work relating to this.

Whether it’s written articles, campaigns, events, awards or educational resources, they cover everything from celebrating women, recognising female talent, breaking down stereotypes, calling out inequalities and much more.

In our final instalment for the week, Tara Geoghegan, Impact Manager, is joined by Rahat Kapur, editor of Campaign Asia-Pacific, Ramu Ramanathan, editor of PrintWeek India and Lauren Burke, Vice President of Content for Haymarket Medical Network.

Then in part two, Haymarket's global CTO, Richard Harding is joined by the wonderful Lexie Papaspyrou, Head of Product at the Tech Talent Charter, which Haymarket is a proud member of.

Lexie references it, so make sure you have a read of the Tech Talent Charter's latest Diversity in Tech report.

And of course, Happy International Women's Day 2024 to you all!

So we thought, why not dive into some of the stories behind the headlines?

In episode two, we’ve gone a bit car mad, and you'll be hearing from our automotive teams in the UK and India.

I don’t think many people would contest the claim that there’s still work to be done with achieving gender parity in the automotive industry. But that makes it all the more important to celebrate and raise awareness of the progress that has been made.

We hear from Mark Tisshaw, Editor of Autocar, Ayisha Gharu, Social Media Manager for What Car?, Georgia Patmore, Social Media Executive for Autocar and Renuka Kirpalani, Host and Editor of the Autocar Show in India.
