Aleria PBC
United States of America
Aleria is a Public Benefit Corporation that helps companies plan execute and measure the impact of Diversity and Inclusion initiatives. You probably would not put your entire retirement savings into bitcoin just because it has done well (mostly) since its launch. And you probably would not put your entire advertising budget into TV just because we've had TV for 70 years. Then why do people think it's OK to have executive teams and boards that are mostly male and white just because white men have done so well in business in the past? The reason why companies struggle with the value of diversity is because unlike advertising and financial management there are no tools that can help us to quantify the impact of diversifying human capital assets i.e. the diversity of our teams. Our solutions are based on two decades of applied research using a combination of behavioral science and computer simulations to quantify the link between the performance of individual employees and the performance of the company as a whole. By quantifying the value of D&I companies can ensure their employees are happier while also increasing performance. Please contact us (infoaleria.tech) for additional information or to discuss your D&I needs and schedule a workshop.

Inner Circle
South Africa
Muhsin studied Arabic and Islamic Jurisprudence at the Islamic University of Karachi (Jamia Dirasat in Karachi Pakistan). He was a practicing Imam and teacher in his community before he came out.We provide support to Muslims who are being marginalized based on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity. History of Al Fitrah Foundation The Inner Circle started as a social support group in 1996 when some Sufi oriented Muslims realised the need to create support for queer Muslims. Imam Muhsin Hendricks ex scholar of the University of Karachi Jamia Dirasaat (1990 1994) pioneered the venture with a vision to reconcile sexual orientation and gender identity with Islam. Imam Muhsin created a safe space in a corner of his garage and brought together 25 gay men into dialogue providing psycho spiritual support and helping them to reconcile their faith with their sexual orientation and gender identity. This was co incidentally at the same time as the adoption of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa where the Bill of Rights (Chapter 2 Section 9) clearly states that The state may not unfairly discriminate directly or indirectly against anyone on one or more grounds including race gender sex pregnancy marital status ethnic or social origin colour sexual orientation age disability religion conscience belief culture language and birth. A year later the group became more inclusive and dynamic by inviting similarly challenged lesbians to join the group and the membership rose to 36 members. During this period the focus was predominantly on the trauma and suffering of members. Members were not equipped with sufficient professional support to contain the emotions and personal challenges that emerged. This coupled with the fact that the group was not sufficiently focused on the personal and social needs of its members led to a shift in focus and people exiting the organization in 1997.
