As the radiation protection field progresses towards more diverse, equitable, and inclusive communities, it is important to recognize and actively consider different experiences and needs to promote personal and community level success. Considering the intersectionality of race and gender is crucial in promoting equity for all women.
As we progress towards more diverse, equitable, and inclusive communities, workplaces, and organizations in radiation protection (RP), we begin to consider the experiences of our fellow radiation protectionists in parallel with our own. This is to identify, and ideally take down, barriers to pursuing a fulfilling career and positive professional relationships. Recognition and active consideration of differential experiences and needs will help promote both personal and community level success. Over the past few years there have been concerted efforts within the RP community to consider and promote the participation of women. An example outcome of this effort is that we are seeing more women assuming prominent leadership positions in our community. As we celebrate the progress made towards equity, specifically with respect to women, it is important to consider that other factors such as race and gender identity can present their own barriers. Those at the intersection of these or other identities often find themselves in the so-called 'double bind' of more pronounced, or stacking, barriers to success. This paper briefly highlights the need for considering the intersectionality of race and gender in the promotion of equity for all women.
