Certify your event

Use the Database of Female Experts certification logo on your promotional materials and show the world that your event adheres to the principles of equal representation of women.

  • The ideal situation is to have a 50:50 representation of men and women at your event. And everyone should be given an equal opportunity to speak. 
  • If you tried but did not achieve a perfectly balanced number: 
    • reflect on this fact within the team: "What is the cause of the unequal representation of women and men at our event, even though we tried to prevent it? What can we do differently next time?"
    • and briefly address it during the event—explain to the audience that gender equality is important to you, but this time it just didn't work out. 
  • If your panel is composed exclusively of men or women, there is a specific reason for this (e.g., a debate to share the experiences of women entrepreneurs or a discussion of people in a certain political position, such as foreign ministers of selected countries).
  • You know that sufficient representation of women cannot be achieved only by having a female moderator. 
  • Female and male experts speak on a variety of topics, regardless of stereotypes (e.g., women on nuclear safety and men on social policy).
  • Your staff and moderators are aware of gender equality issues and avoid gender bias and stereotypical behavior (asking women about their families and not men, addressing women by their first names and men by their professional titles, etc.).
  • Invitations and promotional materials for your event do not reproduce stereotypical thinking about female and male roles (e.g., depicting men as experts and women as listeners). 

If your event meets the above criteria, we would be delighted if you used the Database of Female Experts certification logo in connection with your event, thereby spreading awareness of the importance of equal representation of women and men.

Please let us know about your event on databaze@amo.cz and we will send you the logo.
