Why offer affirmative action programs for women?

Women are one of the four EEO target groups. Women have been traditionally disadvantaged in the workforce through past discriminatory practices, resulting in a current under-representation in senior roles and in some sectors and occupations.

Our affirmative action programs aim to support women's career development and address past disadvantage, to ensure that the best men and women are employed at all levels within the University.
