[council] FW: [SOAC-Leaders] Fwd: SOACs Feedback on the Draft Gender Diversity & Participation Survey by 20 May

[Renata Aquino Ribeiro]

Hi

Mike, agree w/ all your edits

Ayden, indeed sexual orientation is missing but I wonder if this
couldn't be a whole new other survey on LGBTQI in the community

A few things I commented when the survey was in WS2 Div which had no
support so did not make it to the final doc:

- Young women - including the negative perception that young women
would exceptionally deemed unfit for leadership positions or looked
down

- Regional perspective - Women from rural areas have to strive more to
be included, same for developing countries

- Blockage of leadership positions - it is possible that there are
those who - not gender activists -  feel blocked at leadership
positions due to gender or combined factors (gender+age, gender+region
etc)

- Race - another factor, which, if combined, could influence perceptions

Again, this was all discussed but isn't on the doc. I think it should be but...
Also there is a hope that cross-checking data - for instance - how
different ages respond to each question - could provide some
knowledge.

I would rather see these combined factors phrased as stand-alone
questions in themselves for clearer results.

Cross-checking can work but one can also, as the saying goes, "torture
data until it says what one wants"

Best,

Renata
