“There is no such thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not lead single-issue lives.” Audre Lorde 1982. The theme of today’s International Women’s Day is #InspireInclusion. I urge us all to include sexual and gender health and well-being in any workforce strategy. Workplace #Diversity & #Inclusion should say Diversity & ‘Included’ to recognise the multiple factors that overlap and intersect resulting in progression for some and reduced opportunities for others. Our culture has thankfully given parity to mental health alongside physical health, however, the absence of #sexualreproductivehealth and acknowledgement of gender issues is discriminatory and is limiting development. If we want to recruit a diverse #workforce and nurture them to lead we need to embed #equality in all decision-making to address the extra barriers that #sex, #gender, #race, #ethnicity, #ability, #identity, #culture, #lifecoursestatus, #age, #location, #language, #economicstatus, #health, #migrantstatus, #home, #religion, #faith #intersectionality #allincluded  We need #GenderMainstreaming #iwd2024 #HappyInternationalWomen’sDay2024 https://lnkd.in/evdNUDB6
