Campaign

NAME THE BIAS

This powerful campaign exposed the inequity faced by ethnic minority workers in the UK. At its centre is a short film by award-winning director Naghmeh Pour and New Land, with spoken word artist Yasmin Ali highlighting the need for workplace change.

Inspired by Oxford University research showing ethnically diverse candidates must send 60% more applications to get a response, the campaign calls on government to set a timeline for ethnicity pay gap reporting and shares expert guidance on tackling pay inequity at work.
