GENDER DIVERSITY

ABOUT THE EVENT
The learning event was conducted on 26th March, 2020. It was conducted by the Canadian Centre
for Diversity and Inclusion, under the guidance of Jill Chesley and Kiersten Mohr. The event
was hosted by Michael Bach. The main idea behind the webinar event was to discuss about the
problem of gender diversity (“CCDI – Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion”, 2020).
The problem inducted in the event focussed on the challenges faced by the business employees
in a workplace. Decades have passed since, gender has been an issue in the society for it has
invokes a sense of equality and diversity in the societal regime. Today, the business companies
have achieved success internationally and have a well defined inclusive structure for attaching all
the genders to the team for creating an effectively working economy.
While attending the event, it helped in understanding various aspects of society which are
affected by the mere gender bias created in a workplace. They include values and behaviour
towards people, relationships created in this course, ethics and laws governing the society,
people's view in the organisational setting and historical perspectives to the problem.
The event also discussed about the problem of less women leaders in top business management
as compared to men. Although, there is a less percentage of women willing to work as top
respondents than men, but the rate of willingness is more in women than men.
THE SOCIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE
‘Feminist’ theory of sociology can be connected to this event. The feminist theory of sociology
deals with the idea that men and women should have equal political rights, legal rights, sexual
autonomy and self determination. It depicts a social movement that advocates for political,
economic and social equality between men and women.
Feminist theory uses a conflict approach for examining the reinforcement of inequalities and
gender roles, highlighting battery are equal role in maintaining operation of the women.
Feminism focuses on patriarchal theory as a power system which organises society into a
complex relationship based on male supremacy and assertion. When talking about feminist
perspective there are various forms of oppression that can be classified intersectionally.
