The sector needs to better support its women, says Rowena Lewis 1
Tags: Leadership and strategy
As the sector dedicated to social justice, why are charities not making better progress at smashing the glass ceiling? Rowena Lewis says leadership is needed.
Rowena Lewis is to join single parents’ charity Gingerbread as director of fundraising.
If women in the voluntary sector are to achieve equality of pay and opportunity, the debate needs to move on from the “old-fashioned bra-burning era” and focus on skills, according to Acevo chair Lesley-Anne Alexander.
Seven in ten voluntary sector employees are female, yet just over four in ten charities are led by female CEOs or chairs. And in charities with turnover of £10m or more, women are in the top jobs at just 27 per cent of them.
Women chief executives in the voluntary sector are paid on average 16 per cent less than their male counterparts, according to Acevo’s latest pay survey.
