Gender and Public Sector Leadership in the NWT

Join IPAC-NWT and Dene Nahjo for a panel discussion moderated by Nina Larsson, author of “Mind the Gender Gap” (2015), a policy paper published through the Jane Glassco Northern Fellowship

“Mind the Gender Gap” is a policy analysis which identifies ways in which the GNWT can ensure that Indigenous women have access to and occupy decision making roles. Drawing on the Scandinavian model, this report shines light on gender equality in the Northwest Territories (NWT) public sector. To address the lack of diversity and inclusion in senior management positions, the report examines gender equality policy; the representation of Indigenous women in senior management positions; and breaking the barriers to work/life balance.

The Gender and Public Sector Leadership in the NWT event will examine and expand upon the issues put forward in “Mind the Gender Gap” by presenting current GNWT initiatives, visions for the future, and the lessons and best practices that can be drawn from the lived experiences of Indigenous women in the public service.
