Donald Trump’s move to eliminate diversity policies has been a “major backward step” for gender equality in the workplace and threatens to reduce economic growth at the US and globally, female campaigner Marila Fristroup has warned.
Broadcaster said the US President’s decision to issue an executive order to abolish diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs would “pull everyone backward” and take the risk of reducing recent progress on increasing gender equality.
Journalist and TV presenter, who co-established women at the work summit, told the PA news agency: “It is a major backward step and gradually eradicates its position as a leader.
“I always imagined America to be independent and brave land and where there was a possibility that there was a possibility for anyone, who worked hard.
“I think none of those things are being proved true about America right now.”
He said that by returning these initiatives, the US would “start slipping backwards in terms of its voice and their economic power in the world”.
“It won’t happen overnight. But I think these are policies that pull everyone backwards,” she warned.
Ms. Fristroup said that the firm in the UK could follow the suit, but she said that she was “optimistic that it is just unrest and we are going in the right direction”.
The annual reports of work on gender equality as their comment came as women that despite the progress in companies, the overall meeting benchmark, nine out of 10 male chief officers are replaced by men.

The Ms. Frostrustroop, who was appointed the government’s menopause employment ambassador last year, told PA: “There are a lot of women who have stepped back because they have children, or really because they have been found to be very difficult to deal with the symptoms of menopause.”
He said that to help him return to the workplace, “in appropriate jobs” requires help to help him back into the workplace.
The Women’s Work Report shows that the number of Britain’s largest number of 400 companies completing the gender equality benchmark has increased by about fifth (19%) in the last one year.
The report found that 121 companies are getting from benchmarks in 24 areas, covering the company’s boards (more than 33%), gender salary differences (mean or average per hour salary interval less than 15%) and transparent parent leave policies.
Ten of these firms have earned their place in the “Trailblazer” list with uniform executive boards, paying intervals under 1% and transparent parents’ policies.
This is twice the number of number attaining this situation last year.
Ms. Frostroop said, “I have received confidence and assurance that things are going in the right direction and will continue to move in that direction, because every area of economic effort is now understanding that it is an understanding of a sound business to do an inclusive and diverse workforce.”
He said: “What difference does it make to be a woman on the top. It is changing the culture in every way.”
