On Friday, March 1, the spacious conference room on the 34th floor of Olivia Star was filled to the brim. They talked about extremely important issues – women’s equality, the chances for women to play an increasingly important role in politics, and effective ways to break through the so-called “women’s rights”. “glass ceiling”.
The debate entitled “Summit Talks – Women’s Time” was attended by the Minister for Civil Society Agnieszka Buczyńska, the Pomeranian Voivode Beata Rutkiewicz, the Mayor of Gdańsk Aleksandra Dulkiewicz, the Law and Justice MP Dorota Arciszewska-Mielewczyk and the Civic Coalition MP Agnieszka Pomaska. The event was hosted by press and radio journalist Magdalena Rigamonti, and the inaugural lecture was given by Prof. Ph.D. Witold M. Orłowski from the Vistula University, professor and director of the Business School of the Warsaw University of Technology, chief economic advisor at PwC Poland.
Mainly female politicians were invited to participate in the meeting, so the discussion focused primarily on this area. They were m.in. The topic of the “glass ceiling”, analysing what it is and whether it will be possible to break it, also discussed the issue of quotas.
In politics and professional life, the “glass ceiling” for women manifests itself in various ways, m.in. unequal opportunities for promotion, lower salaries compared to men in similar positions, lack of representation of women in key decision-making bodies, or the use of gender stereotypes in competence assessments and task assignment. To overcome this, it is necessary to take broad and conscious action for gender equality, promote women’s participation in the decision-making process, eliminate discrimination based on gender and ensure equal opportunities and opportunities for professional development for both sexes.
