The Big Collaboration ‘Race And Gender‘

Intersectionality is on many people’s list of hot topics at the moment.

We have listened and have created a new series to address this and will be looking at race and additional factors that create more disadvantage and a greater uneven playing field.

We are delighted that this series is Powered by CMS     

 

Going forward characteristics we will be exploring are:  gender, neurodiversity, sexuality, social mobility, accents, being a carer and more. The first in this series is a focus on Race and Gender.

This event is highly relevant following the recent horrific treatment (and lack of support) of Diane Abbott MP.

 

We had three fantastic speakers for the event:

  • Author and Anti Racist activist – Sharon Hurley Hall
  • Head of DEIB at CMS – Sophie Breuil
  • Founder of The Wallflower Academy & Inclusion Lead at England and Wales Cricket Board  – Shivani Uberoi 

 

3 reasons why Race and gender is an ongoing issue:

  • 79% of Black and South Asian women have faced discrimination in the workplace. Many are changing their demeanour and sometimes even their names just to fit in the work place.
  • it takes a Black women 2 months longer than a white woman to find their first job.
  • why in 2024 are we hearing that Black Caribbean women earn 18% less on average than men.
  • Asian women are 7 times more likely than white women and men to be mistaken for someone of the same race and ethnicity

  • Code Switching: Understanding why 75% of ethnically diverse women change their behavior at work to fit in.
