The findings identify under-representation among women with intersecting identities.
Key Points:
- The findings identify under-representation among women with intersecting identities.
- Women of colour hold only 6.2% of women-held Board, Executive, Senior Management and Pipeline positions collectively, with Black women, Indigenous women, women with disabilities and LGBTQ2S+ women each holding less than 1% of women-held senior leadership and pipeline positions, respectively.
- While most organizations have women who identify as women of colour in senior management and the pipeline to senior management, most have zero Indigenous, Black and/or LGBTQ2S+ women at all four leadership levels.
- There is no other study that gets to the heart of where womens leadership truly stands in this country today.
