Image description: Collage of facts pertaining to gender (in)equity and womxn in leadership. #01: Only 10% of senior leaders are women. #02: When you hear ‘can’t’ often enough you begin to believe. #10: Women of colour hold the fewest STEMM degrees. #24: Mentors mean more women study STEMM.
The Gender Fact Sheet is one of the many collaborative projects led by awesome womxn at Homeward Bound (HB)! To date, three HB cohorts (Teams HB2, HB3 & HB4) have contributed to this resource which compiles 28 facts impacting womxn in leadership + supporting research. The list is non-exhaustive but it's a great starting point to reflect on the systemic barriers faced by womxn across the globe. It's also a handy tool if you're seeking support tackling discussions of gender (in)equity within your professional or personal circle.
Newer HB cohorts will continue to add to this project with the goal of highlighting intersectional inequities and research to better represent all womxn. I look forward to making my own contributions as a member of #TeamHB6!
If you’d like to dig deeper, Mother Nature Needs Her Daughters: A Homeward Bound Global Review and Fact Sheet Investigating Gender Inequality in STEMM is a more comprehensive resource published in 2019. You can access a full reference list and bibliography for this project here.
The more we understand, the better equipped we'll be to advocate for gender equity. Read, learn, and share the facts that resonate with you!
