What is Allyship?
Allyship involves regularly questioning and adjusting our perspectives and actions, particularly for those with more advantages. Being an ally means actively supporting those who face more difficulties, learning from their experiences, and working together for a fairer world.
Ways to Continue Allyship:
- Listening, Learning and Unlearning
- Amplifying Other Voices
- Advocacy and Action
- Acknowledging Privilege
- Building Relationships
