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

[Ayden Férdeline]

Hi,

I agree that there should be a separate survey undertaken re: LGBT participation. However, it does not seem like that is going to be happening anytime soon. Adding one optional field onto this form, in case anyone would like to voluntarily provide this information, is if nothing else a starting point for further research.

Thanks,

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
