In a perfect world, you would be right. But there are more factors than pure skills here. Namely, harassment and general or passive hostility. This *may* be a factor that could explain why we never had a woman apply to our EVoC program.
In order to asses the situation and send an open message to women, we advertise that we would be willing to pay for ONE project, as part of the OPW program. Result? It would seem like everyone is losing his mind just because the program exists! If the program is successful, it clearly means there is a need for it!
Just to be even clearer, women could apply to the EVoC program and they would not be treated differently. We are merely sending a message telling we are welcoming everyone, women included!
Now, remind me again what is entirely wrong here?
