The Equity Pause Checklist: A Critical Tool for Advancing Equity in SRHR

Oct 14, 2025

By the ICFP Power Shifting Subcommittee

When was the last time you paused to ask if equity is truly guiding your work?

In the rush of daily work, equity can slip into the background. The Equity Pause is a regular practice that creates intentional space to slow down, to reflect on equity in action within our work, and to challenge and refine our priorities and actions based on these reflections.

And now there’s an Equity Pause Checklist to help you lead those reflective moments! The Checklist suggests seven main questions—plus sharper “hard-hitting” versions—to help deepen your reflections and spark critical discussions, all in service to more equity through action.

Download the Equity Pause Checklist below in English, French, or Spanish! Try it out alone or with some collaborators, and see what shifts for you. And then let us know what you think!
