The importance of ‘collective energy’ in addressing discrimination in digital health was emphasized by the keynote speaker at an event discussing the creation of an ‘Equity Charter’ for industry professionals.
Monique Carayol, a leadership coach and co-founder of Bravery in the Boardroom, spoke about the need for collective action to combat social injustice during the online event on July 2, 2024.
Carayol highlighted the challenges individuals face when trying to tackle discrimination and stressed the power of coming together as a collective movement to break down systemic barriers.
The event, hosted by Dillan Yogendra from Silver Buck, also featured the creators of the Equity Charter: Ayesha Rahim, Victoria Betton, and Hassan Chaudhury.
The Equity Charter, which condemns racism and discrimination in digital health, has garnered over 1,000 signatories since its introduction at the Rewired conference in March 2024.
Chaudhury emphasized the need for a strong response to discriminatory actions, highlighting the upcoming Equity Charter Summit on July 23, 2024, in London to develop actionable steps alongside the charter.
