The theme for Race Equality Week 2023 is #ItsEveryonesBusiness.
Overall, since the flurry of pledges many organisations were making back in 2020 to become more inclusive, which for many included black squares, signing charters and race action plans, progress in addressing racial inequality is proving to be a challenge.
A survey conducted by Race Equity Matters highlighted that the majority of respondents felt very little had changed in the last 12 months.
The drive to achieve race equality has to come from everyone! And that’s where the 5-Day challenge comes in.
