Dr Claire Stewart presents the results of the @ANZCA Gender Equity survey and they are devastating- almost half of women have experienced bullying and over a third have had difficulty obtaining a position, compared to just 3% of men. 1/5
The nature of the disrespect experienced by women anaesthetists is insidious, not overt- this makes it particularly challenging to address. This is amplified by a lack of awareness/allyship by men.☹️ 2/5
Nearly half of women anaesthetists experienced #discrimination relating to pregnancy 🤨🤰3/5
The #GenderPayGap, even corrected for percentage of public work, hours worked, age, and years since FANZCA (=seniority) is $65 THOUSAND DOLLARS PER YEAR. And the #qualitative reasons for the greater proportion of public hours worked by women revolve around... childcare. 😕 4/5
The #UnconsciousBias relating to women in anaesthesia is evident even in the #qualitative responses to the *Gender Equity Survey* (response rate 38%)- women can't have it all, are definitely 100% going to have babies, and can never recover from the impact of it. Obvs. 🤦🏻♀️
