GENDER DISCRIMINATION

Type in the name of the company you are going to have an interview with.

Exemplary case

How ambitious are you?

A woman who had been employed in the office of a water transport business for a number of years, decided to seek employment with the company as deck-hand. She expressed long-term plans to gain a captain's licence.

What are your long-term goals ?


Type them in.

She alleged she was made to feel unwelcome by her male co-workers who commented to her that the work would be too heavy and dirty for her. The male co-workers conceded, over time, that she was able to perform the duties of the position as well as they could.

Because of a downturn in business the company was forced to reduce work hours for deckhands. As a consequence, her rostered water-time was shortened resulting in loss of hours, loss of training, and career opportunities.

She alleged her complaints to the company about unfair treatment by favouring male staff in the rostering times were ignored. In her view, the apparent necessity to reduce hours was unfairly distributed between her and her male colleagues. Her chosen career to aspire to captaincy, she intimated, was seriously jeopardised.

The complaint was settled by conciliation with payment of compensation, a written apology, and agreement that the company would undertake training on anti-discrimination.

The following is a list of discriminatory acts you may come across among your peers, at home, at school or in the workplace

What kind of innovations does this company have?


Type in several examples.

Gender stereotypes at school and work

These stereotypes can often bleed out into school and work, where girls are less likely to be encouraged into science and technology subjects or leadership roles, due to the perceived ‘male nature’ of these pursuits.

Sexual harassment, catcalling

Harassment and catcalling on the street are prime examples of how women’s right to walk freely around their environment is restricted. The normalisation of harassment and inaction of bystanders and authorities perpetuate this form of discrimination and limit women’s freedom.

is unequal or disadvantageous treatment of an individual or group of individuals based on gender

Why do you want to work for this company?


Think of what you can do for them, not of what they can do for you.

Sexual harassment is a form of illegal gender discrimination.
