Intersectionality Series: Exploring Race and Gender
Join us for a critical discussion on Race and Gender in our next session on July 30. This topic is especially pertinent in light of the recent treatment of Diane Abbott MP.
Why Race and Gender are Ongoing Issues:
- Workplace Discrimination: 79% of Black and South Asian women have faced discrimination.
- Identity Changes: Many alter their demeanour or names to fit in at work.
- Job Search Delays: It takes Black women 2 months longer than white women to find their first job.
- Pay Disparity: In 2024, Black Caribbean women earn 18% less on average than men.
- Mistaken Identity: Asian women are 7 times more likely to be mistaken for someone of the same race and ethnicity.
What we will discuss:
- Code Switching: Understanding why 75% of ethnically diverse women change their behaviour at work.
- Giving a Voice: The importance of inclusivity in the workplace.
- Career Progression Transparency: How ethnicity affects career growth for ethnically diverse women.
By attending, you will:
- Learn why ethnically diverse women face dual disadvantages.
- Hear strategies to tackle these issues.
- Explore actionable steps for organisations to address these challenges.
- Collaborate virtually with like-minded individuals.
- Share and listen to lived experiences.
- Forge new connections.
- Leave inspired and hopeful.
Join us to explore these critical issues and drive meaningful change.
