Joint Oireachtas Committee on Gender Equality

Recommendations of the Report of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Roisin Duffy:

We continue to say the same thing and that is why we are saying it today. It is the most important piece. Senator Higgins spoke about information around gender stereotyping and why women do not step up, because a lot of women do not step up. Ms Coyle, as our trainer, could tell the committee a lot more about that. It is a complex scenario but there is not a pile of men sitting somewhere saying they do not want women to participate. That is not it. It is much more complex than that. However, the information from a monitoring project would lead to research and that data would start to drive change. That is fundamental.
