WING wants to know what our members think!
We want to spend our time working on things that are going to help you and the geothermal industry lead the charge in gender diversity. But first we need to know where we stand, and what you want!
Before we begin with the first questions, we need to define a couple of terms. These are “gender equity” and “gender equality”. Often these terms get used interchangeably, but they actually mean quite different things…
Gender equality means treating everyone the same regardless of gender – i.e. everyone gets the same resources and opportunities offered to them, and everything is split 50/50. This can be thought of as everyone being on the same start line in a race.
Gender equity means allocating resources based on the particular requirements of each gender. So instead of each gender being offered 50%, they each receive the correct proportion of opportunities and resources according to their interests, capabilities and experiences. The goal with gender equity is to provide both genders with the same end results – or the same finish line.
