A Review of ITB Berlin & the Gender Equality Award

The Travel Industry on the Path to Gender Equality

//German below We had the pleasure of attending this year's ITB Berlin (Internationale Tourismus-Börse // International Tourism Fair) with 100,000 other people and experiencing the presentation of the Gender Equality Champion of the Year Award. The number of attendees of the award: disappointingly low! A certain sense of shame overcame us as the host, Dr. Stroma Cole, attempted to explain the absence of visitors by citing a strike. For her, who was completely baffled, there was no better explanation. For us, who deal with German employers day in and day out, the inertia and lack of enthusiasm on the subject D&I are not unfamiliar. Come on, Germany, get moving! A highlight of the event was the moving moment when Magda Kiehl from Accor Brazil received the award in the category Hotel Sector and presented the "Embrace" project, which provided safe accommodation to victims of domestic violence during the pandemic. During the pandemic, cases of domestic violence skyrocketed, and both Magda and us were moved to tears as she spoke about the project. Not least because there was and still is such a great need for it, and countless women are subjected to such violence day after day. Accor Hotels as a Role Model Accor Hotels, with a remarkable 50% female representation in leadership positions, sets a strong example for gender equality and shows how it's done. In the industry as a whole, however, the situation is quite different. The proportion of women in the tourism industry is 55%, sometimes even up to 70% (depending on the region). Yet, the proportion of women in leadership positions is a mere 33%, according to the 2023 study published by Deloitte and Women Leading Tourism, "Female Leadership in the Tourism Sector."

Statista: Proportion of female leadership in selected companies in the travel industry in Germany in 2019 The Importance of Events like ITB Berlin ITB Berlin provides a valuable platform for celebrating achievements in gender equality and discussing challenges. We hope that the commitment of hotels like Accor inspires other companies to actively advocate for a fairer and more inclusive industry as well. //Deutsch

Ein Rückblick auf die ITB Berlin & den Gender Equality Award

Die Reisebranche auf dem Weg zur Geschlechtergleichstellung

Wir und 100,000 andere Menschen hatten das Vergnügen, an der diesjährigen ITB Berlin teilzunehmen und die Verleihung des Gender Equality Champion of the Year Award zu erleben. Die Bersucher:innenanzahl des Awards: erschreckend wenig! Ein gewisses Schamgefühl brach bei uns aus, als die Gastgeberin Dr. Stroma Cole, die fehlenden Besucher:innen versuchte mit dem Streik zu erklären. Für Sie, die völlig verblüfft war, gab es keine bessere Erklärung. Für uns, die tagtäglich mit Deutschen Arbeitgeberinnen und Arbeitgebern zu tun haben, ist die Trägheit und der fehlende Enthusiasmus bei dem Thema D&I nicht unbekannt. Komm in die Puschen Deutschland! Ein Höhepunkt der Veranstaltung war der bewegende Moment, als Magda Kiehl von Accor Brasilien den Award in der Sparte Hotel Sektor erhielt und das Projekt "Embrace" vorstellte, das Opfern häuslicher Gewalt während der Pandemie eine sichere Unterkunft bot. Währen der Pandemie explodierten die Fallzahlen häuslicher Gewalt und sowohl bei Magda, als auch bei uns schoßen die Tränen in die Augen, als sie über das Projekt sprach. Nicht zuletzt aufgrund der Tatsache, dass es einen so großen Bedarf dafür gab und immer noch gibt, sowie unzählige Frauen einer solchen Gewalt Tag für Tag ausgesetzt sind. Die Vorreiterrolle von Accor Hotels Accor Hotels, mit einem bemerkenswerten Frauenanteil von 50% in Führungspositionen, setzt ein starkes Zeichen für Geschlechtergleichstellung und zeigt wie es geht. In der Branche im Allgemeinen sieht es dabei ganz anders aus. Der Anteil der Frauen in der Tourismusbranche liegt bei 55%, teilweise sogar bei bis zu 70% (abhängig von der Region). Der Anteil der Frauen in den Führungspositionen liegt gerade mal bei schlappen 33%, laut der 2023 veröffentlichten Studie von Deloitte und Women Leading Tourism "Female Leadership in the Tourism Sector".

Statista: Frauenführungsanteil bei ausgewählten Unternehmen der Reisebranche in Deutschland im Jahr 2019 Die Bedeutung von Veranstaltungen wie der ITB Berlin Die ITB Berlin bietet eine wertvolle Plattform, um Erfolge in Bezug auf Geschlechtergleichstellung zu feiern und die Herausforderungen zu diskutieren. Wir hoffen, dass dabei das Engagement von Hotels wie Accor andere Unternehmen inspiriert, sich ebenfalls aktiv für eine gerechtere und inklusivere Branche einzusetzen. Read the full article

Feminism Roars Boldly

In a world where voices rise,Feminism roars, claiming its prize.No more shadows, no more chains,Equality’s dance, through thunder and rains. Blunt and bold, we take a stand,Against the norms that once were grand.For women’s rights, we fiercely fight,To shatter barriers, and reclaim our light. In patriarchy’s grip, we were once confined,Now we break free, hearts intertwined.With courage ablaze,…

News from southern Africa, 14 July

“While women and girls make up 49.7% of the global population, in Namibia they make up 51% of the population yet the desires are not often prioritized”

The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Representative ad interim, Gift Malunga, has emphasized the need for urgent collective action to address gender inequality and structural inequalities that hold women back.

Malunga highlighted the high rates of physical violence, child marriage, maternal mortality, and teenage pregnancy in Namibia as examples of the urgent action needed. However, she also acknowledged that Namibia has made progress in addressing population issues and promoting gender equality.

Namibia's governor of the Hardap Region, Salomon April, echoed the importance of gender equality and highlighted the government's efforts to improve the lives of its people through various plans and programs.

The World Population Day theme earlier this week focused on gender equality and the State of World Population Report emphasized the importance of rights and choices for all individuals.

2. Former boxing champion Floyd Mayweather attended a political campaign event in Zimbabwe to support President Mnangagwa's ruling party, highlighting their efforts to attract youth voters ahead of the upcoming general election.

Mayweather's presence at the rally showcased the ruling party's attempt to generate excitement and gain support among young voters, who are expected to play a significant role in the upcoming election.

The event took place against the backdrop of Zimbabwe's economic crisis, emphasizing the challenging environment in which the election will occur.

3. Botswana's President has emphasized the need for private sector involvement to drive value chain development in major industries. He also calls for the renewal of the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) to support Africa's industrialization and inclusion in global value chains.

Over 1000 participants from the US and Africa are attending the US-Africa Business Summit in Gaborone, Botswana.

The summit aims to enhance Africa's value chains and foster collaboration between the private sector, governments, and multilateral organizations.

The U.S. International Development (DFC) has closed over 900 deals worth $22 billion in African countries in trade and investment. The DFC is committed to using its tools, including loans and equity investments, to promote African-driven prosperity.

The summit comes after the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit where leaders committed to advancing trade and creating jobs.

National Girl Child Day 2023: Beti Bachao Beti Padhao

National Girl Child Day 2023: It is celebrated on 24 January in India to spread awareness about the rights of girls and to highlight the inequalities that they face in their lives.

Female foeticide is another major issue that further affects the demographic problems in India.

The PC-PNDT Act was enacted on 20 September 1994 with the intent to prohibit prenatal diagnostic techniques for the determination of the sex of the fetus leading to female feticide.

This also promotes awareness about the rights of the girl child and the importance of female education, health, and nutrition. The day is in line with various campaigns and programs of the Indian government including Beti Bachao Beti Padhao and Save the Girl Child.

Closing the gender pay gap has stalled. A new study reveals why Women have historically been paid less than men. But in the US in the 1980s, they began to catch up — fast. During that decade, the gender pay gap closed by about one percentage point a year. Had that trend continued, a new study finds, the gender wage gap would have reached parity by 2017.Read more... https://qz.com/closing-the-gender-pay-gap-has-stalled-a-new-study-rev-1849979454

Repost#❤️ @femalequotient Verified research shows that women and girls undertake more than 75% of unpaid care work in the world. When not distributed equally, domestic labor leads to increased #genderinequality, especially as it pertains to women in the workplace. An image is worth a thousand words and this cartoon represents the very hurdles women face every single day – let's keep the conversation going and continue to break down the barriers we face in the workplace. ✍️: Carlín Source: Oxfam https://www.instagram.com/p/ChSwrsZPjIL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

International Women's Day - The Call for a Greta Thunberg of Women's Rights - Urgency and Action Needed

The Call for a Greta Thunberg of Women's Rights - Urgency and Action Needed

As the world marks International Women's Day, this years campaign theme of IWD is #inspireinclusion, which leads us to include and inspire especially young women to take action - a call for a Greta Thunberg of Women's Rights.  Before we dive into our 3 major topics, let's take a look of the landscape of women's rights: - Gender-based discrimination: Women often encounter discrimination based on their gender, manifesting in unequal pay, limited career advancement opportunities, and biased treatment in various spheres of life. - Violence against women: Gender-based violence, including domestic violence, femicide, sexual harassment, and trafficking, remains pervasive, with severe physical, emotional, and psychological consequences. - Limited access to education: Barriers such as poverty, cultural norms, and discriminatory practices hinder women's access to quality education, particularly in developing countries. - Unequal representation in leadership: Women are underrepresented in leadership positions across sectors, perpetuating gender inequality and hampering efforts for effective women's rights advocacy. - Healthcare disparities: Women face disparities in access to healthcare services, including reproductive healthcare, maternal care, and mental health support, impacting their well-being. - Unpaid care and domestic work: Women disproportionately bear the burden of unpaid care and domestic work, limiting their economic empowerment and reinforcing traditional gender roles. - Gender stereotypes and social norms: Harmful stereotypes constrain women's opportunities and freedoms, affecting their self-esteem, aspirations, and ability to assert their rights. - Lack of access to economic opportunities: Barriers to formal employment, entrepreneurship, and financial resources impede women's economic independence and security. - Reproductive rights and maternal health: Restrictions on access to contraception, safe abortion, and comprehensive sexual education violate women's bodily autonomy and reproductive rights. - Underrepresentation in STEM fields: Women's underrepresentation in STEM fields limits their opportunities for career advancement and innovation, perpetuating the gender gap. These are just some of the many challenges women face. Now, let's delve deeper into three critical issues: gender equality, reproductive rights, and the battle against violence targeting women. The journey towards gender equality has been long and arduous, marked by triumphs and setbacks. Women across generations have fought tirelessly to challenge societal norms and demand equal rights and opportunities. Yet, despite these efforts, systemic barriers persist, hindering women's full participation in social, economic, and political spheres. Global Gender Pay Gap and unequal representation According to the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report of 2022, the gender parity gap remains vast, with no country achieving full equality. Shockingly, according to UN projection (2022) it will take 257 years to close the global gender pay gap based on current trends—a sobering reality that demands urgent action.  In the realm of political representation, women continue to be vastly underrepresented. Only 24% of parliamentary seats worldwide are held by women, reflecting the entrenched gender disparities in leadership positions. Without adequate representation, women's voices are often marginalised, and their needs overlooked in policymaking processes. Reproductive rights = Human Rights Reproductive rights are another battleground for women's rights, with access to contraception and abortion services facing relentless opposition. The legalisation of abortion in the 1960s and 1970s marked a significant milestone in the fight for reproductive rights. The notion that a government has the right to dictate what a woman can or cannot do with her own body is not just wrong—it's an affront to fundamental human rights and autonomy. At the core of reproductive rights is the principle of autonomy – the right of every woman to make decisions about her body, sexuality, and reproductive health without coercion or discrimination. Imagine if the tables were turned, and it was men whose reproductive choices were subject to government intervention. What if men were required to obtain permission from lawmakers before undergoing vasectomies or seeking treatment for erectile dysfunction? The outrage would be immediate and widespread. Yet, when it comes to women's bodies, such infringements are often accepted as legitimate exercises of state power and even more absurd used for election campaigns like lately seen in the US (again!). Additionally, the erosion of reproductive rights is often intertwined with broader attacks on women's rights, including attempts to roll back protections against gender-based violence and discrimination. Ultimately, the fight for reproductive rights is a fight for gender equality. It's about ensuring that women have the same rights and opportunities as men, including the right to control their own bodies and destinies. Violence and Femicide Violence against women, including femicide, remains a pervasive and urgent issue. According to UNODC every day over 133 women are killed (femicide). However, it's important to recognise that this number likely represents only a fraction of the actual cases. Countless women around the world face the threat of physical, sexual, and emotional violence, perpetuated by systemic inequalities and patriarchal structures. Yet, there is a lack of concerted global action to address this epidemic of gender-based violence.

Source: UNODC / UN Women We need a Greta Thunberg of Women's Rights We're in need of a Women's Rights advocate similar to Greta Thunberg. We've seen how she's rallied people worldwide with her passion for environmental causes. But when it comes to women's rights, we're still missing someone like her. Despite some progress, we need someone as bold and dedicated as Greta to speak up for gender equality, reproductive rights, and an end to violence against women. It's time to make sure these issues get the attention they deserve on the global stage and speed up our progress. Until we find our own Greta Thunberg for women's rights, it's up to all of us to raise our voices for women and marginalized communities. Let's encourage young girls and inspire them to become the next generation of advocates. Let's also hold governments, institutions, organizations, and companies accountable for promoting policies that advance gender equality and reproductive rights, and for making our societies safer and more inclusive for everyone. As we celebrate International Women's Day, let's recommit to the fight for gender equality, reproductive justice, and an end to violence against women. The time to act is now! Read the full article
