Women and The Workplace: Gender Equity
Women and The Workplace: Gender Equity centers on the link between gender and language and its impact on gender equity within the workplace. By addressing issues such as gender-based language, stereotypes, biases, and the underrepresentation of women in leadership roles, this campaign informs individuals about how these factors collectively influence an uncomfortable work-life balance, affecting women and their colleagues. Women and The Workplace: Gender Equity promotes a positive and safe work environment by using non-gendered language, emphasizing empathy, and crafting messages centered around gender equity. It shares current data and solutions through printed data visualizations, apparel, and opportunities for engagement and community-building for those affected by or witnessing gender-based workplace discrimination.
