catalyst-bias-correct

A Slack Application that identifies and corrects unconscious gender bias in messages and conversations

Introduction

The #BiasCorrect Plug-In is designed to help users fight their unconscious gender bias, by flagging it to them during real-time conversations on Slack and offering up alternative bias-free words or phrases. Think spell check, but for gender bias.

We’re releasing The #BiasCorrect Plug-In code in hopes that other people will take it and adapt it for their own platforms so that we can rid the workplace of gender bias, once and for all.

Learn more about how unconscious gender bias impacts women in the workplace and find other tools to become a catalyst for change at Catalyst.
