Report suggests rise in sexism in US companies following Trump administration's DEI policy changes

A report suggests a rise in overt sexism in US companies, linked to a hypothetical Trump administration policy change anticipated for January 2025, which would declare corporate DEI programs illegal.

A recent report indicates a resurgence of overt sexism within American businesses, coinciding with a reported decline in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. This shift is reportedly linked to a hypothetical policy change by the Donald Trump administration, which, upon an anticipated return to power in January 2025, is stated to have declared corporate DEI programs illegal. In response to these developments, the beauty retailer Lush's North American division reportedly resisted, aiming to maintain the principles of diversity and inclusion within its operations despite the broader trend.
