Sexism and Microaggressions at work

Have you ever experienced or witnessed sexism at your workplace? Have you ever spent hours or days replaying a situation, trying to decipher the intent or the meaning behind some words or actions, thinking how you could have best reacted? Have you ever questioned the validity of your own feelings, wondering whether you were “too sensitive”?

About the Speaker

Cécile graduated in Geomatics at the University of Liège in Belgium in 2015. She worked as a researcher on satellite-based positioning at the University of Liège for four years and since 2020, she has been working at the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) in Munich on the design of the next generation of satellites for positioning.

In 2021, she participated in the creation of the women scientists’ network in her Institute, and in 2022, she launched a DLR-wide women scientists’ network (>400 networkers). In these groups, she advocates for improving the work culture in STEM fields in order to make it more attractive to women. She also advocates for the visibility of women experts as coordinator of the working group on this topic for Women in Aerospace – Europe. Additionally, she leads the Belgian branch of Pépite Sexiste, a feminist association calling out brands making use of sexist advertisement.

Since 2023, she has been regularly engaged as a public speaker on the topics of sexism in STEM, microaggressions, unconscious biases, and casual sexism.

Cécile is a pioneer at net4tec.

60′ GROW TO LEAD SESSIONS with net4tec

Key Learnings

Sexism is part of our society, it impacts us at work and in our private lives. It can take several forms, from hostile sexism (“women are inferior to men”) to benevolent sexism (“women make great secretaries”). It relies on biases that we have been internalizing from an early age and often takes the form of microaggressions that have a long-term macro-level impact on women’s lives and mental health.

In this 60’ session we will talk about the different forms of sexism in the workplace and how to respond to it as a victim, witness or potential offender.
