The representation of women in the engineering profession (17.90%) far lags that of the Canadian workforce (47.50%), with several authors citing the need for professional and organizational culture change for engineering to be more equitable for and inclusive of women. Recent evidence reported that men actively working on gender equity practices is one mechanism through which this culture change will occur. The practice of allyship by men involves learning and reflecting, building trusting relationships with women colleagues, continuous action even through discomfort, and influencing change at multiple levels. We share our own experiences with starting a men's allyship group in an engineering workplace, initial successes, opportunities to improve, and our vision for the future.

作为有抱负的男性盟友团体，在推进工程领域性别平等方面的学习、经验和行动

女性在工程行业的比例 (17.90%) 远远落后于加拿大劳动力 (47.50%)，几位作者指出，工程专业和组织文化的变革需要对女性更加公平和包容。最近的证据表明，积极致力于性别平等实践的男性是实现这种文化变革的一种机制。男性结盟的实践包括学习和反思、与女性同事建立信任关系、即使在不舒服的情况下也能持续行动，以及在多个层面影响变化。我们分享了自己在工程工作场所成立男性联盟小组的经验、初步成功、改进机会以及我们对未来的愿景。
