Baptist Assembly praised for gender balance among speakers

Both gatherings had a 50/50 split between male and female speakers.

The two conferences were followed closely by the Youthwork Summit and Youthwork conference which carried a 54/46 and 57.5/42.5 split, respectively.

The list has been put together by the group Project 3:28 which launched to 'build a movement of women and men committed to challenging imbalance and promoting gender justice in language, action and culture'.

Overall improvement for the number of female speakers at the Christian events analysed was 9%, female speakers contributing 25% in 2013, and 34% in 2014.

A number of events including Soul Survivor and Premier's Christian New Media Conference put specific measures in place to improve the balance of their speakers.
