If a gender audit finds low women's participation in training what should be the first correction?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Identify the reasons for low participation and plan equal access
When women’s participation in training is low, the first step is to identify barriers such as unsuitable timings, location, lack of information, family responsibilities, or discrimination. An equal-access plan can then address these barriers through convenient schedules, clear communication, and safe arrangements. Stopping training does not solve the inequality; it reduces learning opportunities for everyone. Exam tip: After a gender audit, choose evidence-based corrective action rather than hiding data or limiting opportunities.
