Women in Tax and CIOT/ATT New Tax Professionals Committee present - International Women's Day Male Allies Event, let's #BreaktheBias #HeforShe.

This event is aimed at men and women in the tax profession.

Join us for this thought provoking event where we look at breaking the bias in the tax profession around male allies.

Working towards a more equal world has never been so important. This is an overall society issue and in order to achieve true gender parity we need both men and women to be on this journey. How do we help get males allies on board in the tax profession to help achieve gender parity?

Tasneem Kadiri (Chair of Women in Tax and UK & Ireland Tax Director for L'Oréal) will explore this topic in depth in a panel discussion with UN Women UK and males allies in the tax profession. She will be joined by:
