In Australia and overseas, culturally diverse women experience a ‘double jeopardy’ when accessing leadership roles due to their gender and cultural background. This double jeopardy results in a ‘glass-cultural ceiling’ in which invisible organisational barriers lock out culturally diverse women from accessing leadership positions in their workplaces.

The Diversity Council Australia report, Cracking the Glass-Cultural Ceiling: Future Proofing Your Business in the 21st Century comprises an extensive review of international and national research; an on-line survey of 366 female leaders and aspiring leaders from a diversity of backgrounds; four Think Tanks with 54 culturally diverse female leaders and emerging leaders; and 15 individual interviews with culturally diverse women who were in high-profile, very senior roles.

The Diversity Council Australia have produced a framework from the insights of culturally diverse females to explain what is happening to lock culturally diverse women out of leadership and what Australian organisations can do to unlock that talent.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has gathered hundreds of stories of everyday bigotry from people across the United States. These stories were shared through e-mail, personal interviews and at roundtable discussions in four cities. People spoke about encounters in stores and restaurants, on streets and in schools. No matter the location or relationship, the stories echo each other. Along with each story of everyday bigotry, the Southern Poverty Law Center provides tips on how to effectively respond and change the present.
