In this episode of DEI Will Not DIE, Dr Bree Gorman unpacks the limits of gender equality action plans when intersectionality is treated as an afterthought. They explore how compliance-driven approaches can unintentionally widen privilege gaps and pull organisations away from more holistic DEI work. Drawing on real-world experience, Bree challenges "fix the people" programs and makes the case for system change, leadership accountability, and acting on imperfect data. This episode is a call to move beyond tick boxes and quotas and design DEI strategies that centre those most marginalised — because when systems work for them, they work better for everyone.
