Sexual discrimination and harassment doesn’t seem to be going away, according to a recent survey by the Boardlist. Boardlist works by sourcing recommendations from its members, who are both male and female, to provide a platform for tech companies to discover and connect with board-ready women.
The Boardlist asked its network of women, who are qualified to serve on boards, about mentorship and their experiences with harassment and discrimination. Of the over 100 respondents, about 72% reported experiencing gender-based discrimination ands 45% reported experiencing sexual harassment.
“I’m not surprised by fact that discrimination is in the kind of perspective of most women leaders, including those who have been successful,” Boardlist founder Sukhinder Cassidy told me.
