How can our language and behaviour be more inclusive
summary
Shows concrete scenarios: tech folks berate someone's language on Slack until they disengage, bootcamp men loudly share sexual images, a client assumes a long‑serving woman developer "shouldn't be here." Cites hard numbers — one in three women experience physical/sexual violence and ~86% of attempts aim to escape distress not to die — and offers actions that worked: follow diverse voices on social media, create space in hallway groups, and call out problematic remarks privately and educate. Announces a global proposal‑writing workshop day (Feb 3, 2018) already planned in many cities.
