Leading the future for CARM women

Leading the future for culturally and racially marginalised women at UTS

At UTS, half of our staff community was born overseas and over 40 per cent have a non-English first language. While we boast a diverse workforce, culturally and racially marginalised (CARM) women remain underrepresented in senior leadership roles. 

CARM women are ambitious, capable, and resilient, but systemic barriers lock them out of leadership roles. The Diversity Council of Australia's report, Culturally and Racially Marginalised Women in Leadership, reveals that Australian organisations undervalue and overlook CARM women in leadership. These women encounter fewer career opportunities, endure frequent underestimation or dismissal, and often experience racism and sexism in the workplace. 

What needs to change to allow CARM women to thrive in leadership? Join our panel discussion, moderated by Dr Kumi de Silva, to hear their insights on bridging the cultural gender gap in leadership. 

Panellists to be announced.
