What challenges women face in the modern world?
There are many challenges women and non-binary people data-face in ‘open’ spaces that aren’t unique, but prevalent in the wider workplace. Both in and out of tech spaces, we data-face challenges in leadership, in allyship, in applying gender perspectives, in working with men, in online spaces, and in the way our work is valued (or isn’t).
Leadership the ability to influence the direction and values of organisations has a huge impact on the actions and choices made by colleagues. This includes how welcoming, diverse and inclusive workplace environments are to women and non-binary people are and why diversity and empathy in leadership is so important.
White male fragility in general is prevalent in working cultures, in and out of open spaces. “Power dynamics with all white males teams” are very real and often are the norm on data teams.
