Speaking at a Women in Travel CIC event in London on Thursday (21 May), panellists said many men still feel hesitant about engaging in gender equity discussions, often due to fear of "getting it wrong", fear of damaging their reputations or fear of entering female-led spaces.
Lee Chambers, founder of Male Allies UK, said research conducted across multiple industries found fear remained the single biggest barrier preventing men from participating in inclusion work, which was a "major challenge" for the sector.
