Diversity, Equity, Inclusion ✨️ Using history and philosophy to move the needle towards an inclusive society! ✨️
🍃 #InternationalWomensDay #EmbraceEquity 🌳 #EmbraceEquity* is this year's campaign theme of International Women’s Day ( March 8 as always), a “concept that recognizes that each person has different circumstances, and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome”, as IWD writes, whereas equality focusses on ‘equal’ resources and opportunities. It is such an important theme and one that of course transcends the topic of women. Ánd a topic that most likely (although we do need to believe in miracles 😃), won't be realized overnight. After all, we are dependent on a lot of ‘outsiders/others’ in this and it's not only what we can do ourselves. So what can we do ourselves, as women, to influence our 'outcomes' right now? Where is our internal agency in this 'external' process? Cause surely, it's not only about what is provided for us, but it's as much about what we believe about ourselves and what is possible. I have 3 suggestions and I talked about it in Rome last year at #WINconference. You see, the Roman leadership I studied provides us not only with enormously inspirational examples of female courage, wisdom and resilience but also provides us with wonderfully practical tools for our lives! In my talk, I also explain why history changed my life and why it is of such great importance in the present time for us all to #reshapeourfuture! So, what are those 3 key learnings that have risen from my research into Roman female power and leadership that can support our own agency in a quest for #equity? 👉 Daring and innovative ways to deal with (legal) limitations and the existing strict social ideals! 👉 Great communicators (both visually and in word) of their accomplishments and roles in society! 👉 They were great ‘networkers’ and were even known to form formal ‘sisterhoods’ If you want to learn more...you can find my talk here https://lnkd.in/ef62rU6z.

Policies that benefit white women, for example, may not benefit women of color due to historical or current inequalities. A shift from, in this example, gender equality to the process of gender equity is required for meaningful progress. For more info see: https://lnkd.in/eMk6-7Bv.
