Revisiting the ‘Gender Agenda’ - GSDRC

The progress of women toward the upper echelons of business, government, and academia continues to provoke media attention and lively debate. Look, for instance, at the coverage of Marissa Mayer’s July appointment as CEO of Yahoo! and the diverse reactions to an article (“Why women still can’t have it all”) published in the July/August issue of the Atlantic magazine. These laws are feminism and LGBTQ run amuk, but, let it go down. It will be the great undoing of them all. When you begin to get into this level of confusion, you know you're at the end. Let it burn. It's time. In March 2023, Womankind joined the other six organisations in the AWESOME consortium – EWDNA, FIDA Kenya, FOWODE, NUWODU, SWDA, WCC – to carry out joint advocacy at CSW67. Together, we held an event: Rural Girls’ and Women’s Feminist Movement Strengthening. Our partners shared their experiences of working with rural women from Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda, from an intersectional feminist movement strengthening perspective with a global audience in the room.We want to empower communities so that you feel confident and informed about safeguarding. That’s why we are partnering with organisations all over the UK to develop and run safeguarding campaigns in local areas. Doan, 2010 Doan, P. ( 2010). The tyranny of gendered spaces: Reflections from beyond the gender dichotomy. Gender, Place & Culture, 17, 635– 654. Primary AGENDA is a resource for educational practitioners who want to support children aged 7-11 to make positive relationships matter in their school and community. We’ve chosen not to rely on quotas. There isn’t a right or wrong answer on this issue; it’s more a matter of what works best within your environment. At Gore, we felt quotas could clash with our cultural values. To understand the potential mismatch, you need to understand Gore’s culture. We believe that spending time up front, clearly demonstrating the business benefits of diversity, engages the organization more effectively than simply telling associates what to do. When they buy into an initiative because they believe in it, they’re more committed to achieving its outcomes. And in the process of making the case, the effort attracts associates who are personally passionate about leading it. In this way, momentum builds across the organization.

In 2015, when the Violence against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence (Wales) Act was passed, the Welsh Government worked with Welsh Women’s Aid to publish guidance for education practitioners on how to promote gender wellbeing and gender equalities for respectful relationships (Welsh Government, 2015). case study examples of how schools have supported children to learn and raise awareness about issues that advance the building of respectful relationships Davidson, 2007 Davidson, M. ( 2007). Seeking refuge under the umbrella: Inclusion, exclusion, and organizing within the category Transgender. Sexuality Research and Social Policy, 4( 4), 60– 80. AGENDA was developed to give young people (aged 11-18) the tools and guidance to explore these ideas, run campaigns and raise awareness.What I have found is that great culture goes hand in hand with a strong commitment to inclusion and diversity. You can’t have one without the other and together they can create some real strengths in any organisation. We’ve also been keen to point out that research has shown that companies with diverse boards perform better – so there’s a commercial element to this too!” At times, similar rhetoric is drawn upon by YouTube users that have historically been invoked in the construction of homosexuality and heterosexuality (see e.g., Baker, 2004; Perone, 2014). In this sense, we are not witnessing anything new or innovative, rather a recycling of socially recognizable motifs in the construction of cisgender people as victims. It also becomes evident throughout this chapter that claims of victim status highlight how the construction of “the self” as a victim is often achieved within a collective framework, in which entire communities are positioned as victims, emphasizing the otherness of the minority group. It is argued that claiming a victim position is key in successfully opposing the implementation of gender-neutral toilets, while simultaneously deflecting claims of transphobia, bigotry, and hatred. Not only are cisgender people constructed as victims of “political correctness” but also other YouTube users construct themselves as victims within the context of a wider, intentional political agenda. Commenters claim that issues of gender-neutral facilities and adjustments that may potentially ease the access for transgender people in public places are intentionally pushed by politicians and the media to mask the “real” issues that affect the dominant, cisgender majority. As a result, cisgender people are constructed as victims of a political system which fails to tend to their needs. If we are to close the gaps for women, BAME colleagues and other minorities, it is vital that organisations put fairness and equality at the front and centre of hiring, decision-making, talent and development.

Every major cultural, operational, or strategic change in a business requires personal passion, “skin in the game,” and role modeling from senior leaders, and gender diversity is no exception. When a CEO is the chief advocate and “storyteller,” more people (including the often less committed male middle managers) believe that the story matters and begin to adopt the CEO’s mind-set and behavior. Intensely committed CEOs make their goals clear and specific, tell everyone about them, get other leaders involved, and manage talent to help make things happen. CEOs who do not see gender diversity as a top issue fold “gender” into “diversity” and “diversity” into “talent,” thereby losing focus as leadership of initiatives is delegated to others further down the line. CEOs who champion gender diversity, for example, participate in women’s events and multiday talent discussions; less committed CEOs introduce them and leave, inadvertently signaling that other priorities take precedence.

Coincidentally, this summer also marked the moment when we released the latest phase of a global research initiative on women in senior management across Asia, Europe, and North America. This effort involved assembling fresh data on the gender composition of boards, executive committees, and talent pipelines, as well as detailed surveys of leading businesses in each region.
