Misogyny, Masculinity and Sexual Harassment - How to identify systemic bias, tackle misogyny and create a truly inclusive culture

Thu, 7 Nov 2024

Virtual, Online

As humans we have an unconscious tendency to gather with people who are like us. When groups of similar people with similar biases form organisations, schools or businesses, then those biases get ‘baked into’ the culture of the organisation. They become systemic. Historically, most of our organisations were set up and led by males – leaving a disparity that unfairly disadvantages women.

This training explores how to create an inclusive, welcoming workplace culture that enables all staff to thrive and succeed. It also provides opportunity to unpick cultural and moral ideals/norms around the issues of gender and sex that continue to perpetuate inequality in society and undermine human value. Women and girls everywhere continue to be treated prejudicially, sexually harassed and abused. In order to properly address this, it is essential that all staff begin to notice and address their own unconscious bias and know how to challenge sexist behaviour and assumptions in the workplace.

This training is a fascinating and challenging wake up call to proactively counter the culture that fosters inequality and abuse.
