Intersectionality at Work is a companion report to the Baseline Report 2021, released in 2022 following the inaugural workplace gender audit.
It provides insights and analysis of intersectional data collected by defined entities as part of the audit. This analysis is combined with findings from projects funded as part of the Commission's Research Grants Round 2022.
Intersectionality at Work will assist the Commission, defined entities, and the Victorian community to understand:
- how experiences of disadvantage and discrimination on the basis of intersectional attributes might compound or shape experiences of gender inequality
- where to focus efforts to improve.
