#idweek2022 #womeninID breakfast how to tackle gender equity
-transparency in pay #heforshe
-negotiate salary self-advocacy
-administrators should have access to form where everyone’s salary is listed which anyone can look at
-need leadership opportunity equity #idweek2022 #womeninID breakfast

-language barrier:trust is lost in translation
-structural barrier: can’t get documents
-inability to take time away from work to go to doctor or labs, many intake forms not in Spanish
-Hispanic gay/bisexual makes marginalized
