Student Robin Driessen, an MScBA Master in Management graduate explains why she advocates gender equality; not least because organisations with balanced and equal numbers of men and women tend to outperform organisations that don’t. She also explains the effects of denying women access to contraception.

Professor Dianne Bevelander talks about women’s empowerment, structural gender bias and the need to increase the representation in executive positions of organisations. As founder and Executive Director of the Erasmus Centre for Women and Organisations at RSM, she focuses on women in management as well as researching management education and diversity.

Marlies Dekkers explains how she supports feminism from an extraordinary viewpoint – that of a designer of lingerie for women, a ‘feminine feminist’ as she calls it. This led to her writing a book Unlock your potential for women undergoing the journey to be their best. As well as designing lingerie, Marlies Dekkers also lectures internationally about her 25 years of experience building her international business.

RSM intends to incorporate these videos, complemented with assignments and teaching cases, as learning modules into its programmes.
