The truth is, too, hospitality is by and large a male-dominated industry; perhaps this is why, in part, the sexism was allowed to flourish in the first place. A better balance is needed. How to draw more women into the industry? More female-oriented scholarships; grants from both businesses and government both to draw more women in, and to support those already working (for instance, for childcare). These might also help support mentoring schemes, allowing women to more easily pass on and share what they’ve learnt — including what not to stand for.
