Fawcett : responds to Different Women report on ethnic minority women leaders

Commenting on the final report of the Different Women, Different Places investigation, zohra moosa, Senior Policy Officer of the Fawcett Society said:

"This important report demonstrates what a contribution ethnic minority women leaders can make in the workplace when they are able to tap into all of their talents.

"The study confirms what Fawcett's Seeing Double project on ethnic minority women has found - that organisations are not served well by identikit workers. The 'cultural barriers' that ethnic minority women face are often not their own, but that of organisations that maintain outdated stereotypes of what a successful worker looks like.

"Government and employers need to do much more to enable all ethnic minority women to excel."
