Dortmund's progress towards equality, according to Gabriele Brübach?

In a move to shed light on the progress and challenges related to gender equality in Dortmund, Gabriele Brübach, the chairwoman of the Dortmund Forum Frau und Wirtschaft, has launched a new podcast titled "How far is Dortmund with equality?"

Brübach, who also leads the organization "Frauen helfen Frauen" dedicated to promoting women in companies, takes the conversation to Letscast.fm. The podcast covers various aspects of Dortmund's society, including business and politics.

The podcast does not contain any advertisements, and the team works voluntarily, with support for the project being appreciated. The conversation positively assesses the development in listed companies, where quota regulations have been in effect for several years. However, Brübach points out that parity in important functions has still not been achieved, despite progress in the number of women in first and middle management positions.

One of the key areas of concern is the support for young women at the beginning of their careers. Brübach sees a need for many medium-sized companies to adapt their strategies to actively promote women early on and win them for leadership positions in the long term. In fact, the overall management levels in Germany are predominantly male, with only about 29% of management positions held by women. The share of women in management boards of large listed corporations in Germany is around 23%.

The podcast is not limited to the corporate world. It also delves into women in politics, as evidenced by the podcast for the local election. The Dortmund Forum Frau und Wirtschaft is a network of companies and organizations that support women in the workplace, aiming to create a corporate culture where women in high-ranking positions are taken for granted.

For those interested in the topics discussed in the podcast, a magazine with several related topics can be found on Nordstadtblogger, with the project title "working voluntarily". The video version of the podcast is also available.

The podcast serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to understand and contribute to the conversation around gender equality in Dortmund. Brübach's leadership and dedication to the cause are evident in the thoughtful and engaging discussions she leads on the podcast.
