Sex bias test for London dads to help daughters
Print Edition
FATHERS working in the City of London, the British capital’s financial district, were urged yesterday to take a gender bias test to see if they are really helping to make workplaces welcoming for their daughters.
The initiative is part of a Dads4Daughters campaign launched by the prestigious fee-paying all-girls school St Paul’s which made headlines last month for allowing its students to use boys’ names and wear boys’ clothes.
The online test, that aims to reveal any unconscious bias in men who might otherwise express support for equality at work, was designed after a Girls’ Schools Association survey found 71 percent of alumni experienced or saw gender inequality at work.
Clarissa Farr, headmistress at St Paul’s school in west London, said when men became fathers of daughters, many reported that their perspective on gender equality dramatically changed.
“They also become acutely aware of the challenges of achieving a work-life balance both for themselves and the women around them,” Farr said in a statement.
“We hope that with the help of fathers, women will enjoy workplaces free from bias, pay inequality and glass ceilings.”
The test was set up ahead of Dads4Daughters Day tomorrow that was launched last year by St Paul’s and is being supported by about 50 schools.
