Boys and girls jobs
Guest: Professor Tessa Wright
Host: Jodi Evans
Song Credit: Around the corner by James Nick Solder / The Corner
On this show we talk about the fact that women are not 'all over the place' in the transport industry, and what needs to be done to address this inequality. The conversation is about the gender-segregated nature of the transport industry, its impacts, the intersection of this issue and technology, how transport and other industries are achieving positive change – or not – and what can and should be done by employers, unions, and the institutions that finance transport projects to ensure all workers have access to safe and decent transport jobs.
Jodi Evans, ITF women transport workers and gender equality officer, talks with Professor Tessa Wright from the Centre for Research in Equality and Diversity, Queen Mary University of London. We also hear from Jasmin Labarda, a shipping Captain from the Philippines as an extract from a short film telling the story of three women working in male-dominated transport jobs, which you can see here: https://youtu.be/9uGS7J6IVcE

And this article looks at how new technology could affect the future of work for women: https://www.itfglobal.org/en/focus/automation/new-technologies---the-future-of-work-for-women
Access to decent sanitary facilities, sanitation systems, and most importantly the ability to use them when needed, is truly a global issue that is widely and deeply felt by all transport workers.

Finally, the ITF and the International Association of Public Transport (UITP) have a joint agreement to strengthen women’s employment in public transport, which is here: https://www.itfglobal.org/en/reports-publications/itfuitp-positive-employer-gender-policy
