—men sponsoring women. It's vice versa.
It's funny. I never really knew the difference between sponsorship and mentorship until a few years ago. I had a lot of mentors. To me, a mentor is somebody who provides you with advice on the sidelines, but doesn't have a vested interest in helping you in whatever you want to achieve.
A few years ago, I got a sponsor and it happened inadvertently. Somebody offered to sponsor me, and as I said, I didn't know the difference between sponsorship and mentorship. It was so different, what they were prepared to do and the commitment they were prepared to make to me, that I now have three sponsors. I actively sought them out and sought their guidance and their support.
You're not going to legislate people sponsoring other people, but I think if you show the successes, that leads to more sponsorship relationships being developed.
