Proje Konusu | In recognition of its responsibility to model gender equality for all public and private regional actors, in May 2017, the City of Cincinnati became the seventh municipal government to become a CEDAW City (joining such cities as San Francisco, Louisville, and Pittsburgh) by the unanimous passage of two ordinances sponsored by then-Vice Mayor David Mann which 1) created the mayoral-appointed Gender Equality Task Force and 2) authorized a two-year gender study of the Cincinnati City Government, both in the spirit of the 1979 UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), one of the most ratified human rights treaties worldwide. These ordinances arose from a resolution passed in 2015 sponsored by Council member Chris Seelbach and the work of the Cincinnati4CEDAW community coalition inspired by the work of the national Cities for CEDAW (citiesforcedaw.org) campaign to gain the support of 100 US cities to observe the principles of CEDAW in their equity and inclusion policies and practices—a campaign brought to the attention of community organizers by student organizers in a University of Cincinnati Planning course taught by Dr. Jan Fritz. The 12-member Gender Equality Task Force was appointed in November 2017 and the interdisciplinary, 16-member University of Cincinnati Gender Equity Research Team, which proposed the outline of the study at the time of authorization, began its research in Fall 2017, reporting to the Task Force and through it City Council on their progress since. The study consisted of two phases, the first more quantitative and the second more qualitative. Year One (2017-2018) entailed an overall quantitative analysis of City employee demographics and salaries by gender and race; a more intensive quantitative analysis of employees by gender and race in Fire, Police (CPD), Health (CHD), City Planning, and Community and Economic Development (DCED) Departments; and an online survey of employees in these departments to gather their perceptions of the presence and handling of gender and race inequities within their departments and in terms of their service provision and/or public-facing work. https://www.cincinnati-oh.gov/sites/cityofcincinnati/assets/File/FINAL%20Gender%20Study%20of%20City%20of%20Cincinnati%20Government%20Final%20Report%20by%20UC%20Gender%20Equity%20Research%20Team%20submitted%20to%20Gender%20Equality%20Task%20Force.pdf |
