💢 There cannot be true diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging - as well as empowerment - if people continue excluding Muslim women, specifically veiled women, from participation in society. Women wearing the veil have been continuously made feel invisible and have had to fight their way through to achieve things in life, often at the expense of their mental health, because the fight is unfair, biased, prejudiced. If we talk about empowerment but deny access to it to a group of people, we aren't advocating for genuine empowerment but are promoting exclusivity and supremacy instead. If we are talking about equality for all but leave out a group of people - veiled Muslim women in particular - because we either do not understand their way of life or do not hold any regard for them - we aren't truly advocating for equality. In the context of current events we cannot have a conversation about antisemitism if we also do not address islamophobia. Both are horrible, but if you only focus on one and leave out the other, you are not being inclusive. And people tend to mostly ignore islamophobia because they tend to disregard the most affected demographic (veiled women). If we continue to promote one group of people over the other, we won't be making a big change in society at all - but will be creating gaps and only furthering already existing isolation. For years now Muslim women in general, and specifically veiled women, have been told to stay in their niche. But guess what ... that niche grew so big it's spilling over. We are certainly not going away and certainly aren't going to stay silent when we see injustice. But we have a message to every other DEIB advocate - you either include us already or take a careful long look at yourself. Because you are lying to the world by pretending you care for everyone. There's no polite or politically correct way of saying this. If your advocacy doesn't improve conditions for marginalized groups in society, Muslim women being one of those groups, your advocacy is a fraud. These women never asked to be outcast. In fact, all we've ever wanted is to be acknowledged and to belong. By denying us our right to visibility and representation, you are rejecting everyone else who doesn't fit the mold. Either we are all in this together, or we are going to call it for what it is - a lie. © 2008-2024 Camilla Stein #Islamophobia #deib #inclusivity #equality #participation #visibility #empowerment #humanconnection #muslimwomen #islamintheworld #antisemitism #thinkaboutit #womensuppprtingwomen #hypewomen #newleadership #leadershiplessons #leadership

The rugby sport fanatics have been glued on television watching the incredible performance by various rugby teams- for us in South Africa and Africa- every try that is scored matters for several reasons - nationhood, national identity and show casing the capabilities of Black people who were socially-economically and politically classified as sub-humans and excluded from enjoying their human rights. The quarter final match between South African Springbok and France was nerve wrecking to say the least and most of us turned to the almighty pleading for divine intervention because South Africa's win is not only restorative to the nation that is confronted with multiple crisis (economics stagnation, fiscal crisis, social instability, poverty, energy, unemployment) but it affirms that Black people are able to execute game strategy to the tee. In pondering this social complexity question of South Africa, I remembered the critical race theory that race is social construct, and that racism is not merely the product of individual bias or prejudice, but also something embedded in legal systems and policies. Through out the democratic dispensation the South African government has sought to undo or introduce legislation that demystified different type of myths about Black people........ but the race relations are still very fragile for a country that celebrates 30years of democratic dispensation. Meaning the change in public policy has had minimal impact in broader South African society. These small milestones of winning a game at rugby world cup with diverse members of the rugby team are important for a country in transition and the dividend will be drawn by younger generation.

On November 21, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the adoption of a new gender eligibility regulation, prohibiting transgender cricketers who have undergone male puberty (regardless of any surgery or treatment undertaken) from participating in top-tier women's cricket. This decision, aimed at preserving the integrity of the international women's game and ensuring player safety, follows an extensive consultation process and aligns with scientific principles. Geoff Allardice, Chief Executive of the ICC, emphasized inclusivity while prioritizing the protection of the women's game. The regulations, subject to a two-year review, were prompted by cricket's inclusion in the 2028 Olympics. Canada's Danielle McGahey, the first transgender cricketer in an official international game, expressed disappointment at the ban. The Women's Rights Network (WRN) applauded the ICC's decision. The rules presently pertain to international women's cricket, leaving gender eligibility at the domestic level to individual Member Boards, potentially influenced by local legislation. Notably, transgender athletes face similar bans in various elite women's competitions across sports like swimming, cycling, athletics, rugby league, and rugby union. NOTE: The new regulations will be reviewed within two years, the ICC said. #ICC #CricketRegulations #GenderEligibility #WomenInSports #TransgenderAthletes #PlayerSafety #InclusivityInSports #InternationalCricket #WomenCricketket #GenderInclusion #ScientificPrinciples #Olympics2028 #WomenRightsnetwork #SportingRegulations #EliteSports #InclusiveGames #AthleteSafety #TwoYearReview #SportsNews #CricketOlympics

5 years ago we wrote an EGM blog about Siya Kolisi from South African Rugby Union (SA Rugby). Kolisi made history as “the first black captain of the Springboks in a country where, because of apartheid and separate development, the professional sport was once an “all-white” affair” (TheConversation.com 1/10/23) Now after guiding Bokke to semi final victory over England (and breaking a few of the EGM teams hearts on the process) he’s got the chance to lead his country to their 2nd RWC 🏆(back to back). Revisiting the blog post is timely in Australia: - Highlighting a McKinsey & Company study that found a significant relationship between ethnically diverse leadership and work teams and increased financial performance. - Companies in the top quartile for racial and ethnic diversity were 35 percent more likely to have financial returns above their respective national industry medians. - McKinsey’s findings indicate that the correlation between ethnic diversity and profitability are even higher than that between gender diversity and profitability. We wrote in 2018 that “sadly, it looks like Australian organisations haven’t read the Mckinsey study... A report released by Australia’s Race Discrimination Commissioner in May 2018, ‘Leading for Change’, found a staggering 75.9% of senior leaders in Australian business are from an Anglo-Celtic background, with just 4.7% from a non-European background and only 0.4% from an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander background.” Worth thinking about how far we have come (or not) in 5 years… Anyway. Congratulations to the Springboks and Kolisi. Best of luck to South Africa and New Zealand Rugby in the Final. 👏 https://lnkd.in/g6ehQhUX

Interesting take on news regarding New Jersey hosting the 2026 (men’s) World Cup Final, given FIFA’s statutory obligation (often not in practice) to human rights and the criticism that attracted in 2022. ‘New York/New Jersey's politics may have been a factor One topic that may have factored into FIFA's decision to award the final to MetLife Stadium over AT&T Stadium is the varying political climates in New Jersey, New York and Texas. In short, the two sides could not be more ideologically different or on opposite ends of the political spectrum. In recent months, one of the biggest political tensions between New York and Texas has been the ongoing migrant crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. There are also differences when it comes to gun reform, reproductive rights and LGBTQ+ rights. New Jersey has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation. Texas is the largest state to ban nearly all abortions after the 2022 overturn of Roe v. Wade. There’s also the question of LGBTQ+ rights, with the Human Rights Campaign saying Texas is responsible for more than 20 percent of the more than 500 anti-LGTBQ+ bills last year across the country. ..human rights issues were widely debated and reported on during the 2022 men’s World Cup in Qatar and continue to be contentious topics..’
