Commitment to gender equality

Anke Domscheit-Berg advocates gender equality in all areas of society. In lectures, workshops and publications she campaigns against sexism , violence against girls and women and inequality in work and politics.

In 2007 Anke Domscheit-Berg worked as an IT strategy consultant at McKinsey & Company . There she was the project manager of the study “A Wake Up Call for Female Leadership in Europe”, which examined the advancement opportunities of female leaders. The study was presented at the “Global Summit of Women” 2007 in Berlin, a conference at which 900 professionally successful women from all over the world exchanged their experiences. She also collaborated on the Women Matter study , which looked at the influence of top female executives on corporate success.

She was a founding member of the FidAR initiative (women in supervisory boards) , which campaigns for a statutory quota for women on supervisory boards, and from 2003 to 2010 she was a member of the extended board of the non-partisan “Women’s Initiative Berlin - City of Women”. In 2009 she signed the Nuremberg resolution for more women in management positions and actively supports it.

In a comment in the Berlin daily newspaper in 2009, in the wake of the economic and financial crisis , she dealt with the demand for more women in management positions, which in her opinion gained "new weight and a completely different meaning" as a result of the crisis. Domscheit-Berg called for an "equality law for the private sector and a gender quota for supervisory boards". In an article for the weekly newspaper Die Zeit , a few months later she described her own experiences as a mother and manager, which led her to get involved in women's networks such as the European Women's Management Development Network. Domscheit-Berg also trained managers of large companies and gave lectures on the subject at universities.

She was also involved in the #aufschrei debate about everyday sexism in Germany, which started in January 2013 , and called for new models for gender roles to be found.

She took part in the Federal Minister of the Interior's “Internet Dialog” , a series of roundtables at which Thomas de Maizière discussed the prospects for Internet policy in Germany with a panel of experts .

In this context, she was the initiator of the Government 2.0 Camp in Germany, which took place for the first time in 2009 and led to the establishment of the Gov20 network. In 2011 it took place for the third time under the name Open Government Camp in Berlin.

She is also active in the “Berlin Open Data” platform and was a member of the jury for the first German apps competition, Apps4Berlin, and the EU Open Data Challenge.

Attitude to WikiLeaks

In 2010 she described her generally positive, but also critical attitude to WikiLeaks on Deutschlandfunk . She welcomed the fact that WikiLeaks is working towards the goal of transparent governments and states with the publication of government documents and explained details of the authentication of the documents sent to WikiLeaks. She regretted that there is no positive term in German that corresponds to the English " whistleblower ". However, she also appealed to the conscience and responsibility of those who publish secret documents. She did not see a conflict of interest with her own work at Microsoft, since both of them are concerned with transparency.

The couple supports the Icelandic Initiative for Modern Media (IMMI), which is primarily intended to legally protect investigative online journalism , as operated by Wikileaks. The history of the development of IMMI is closely linked to WikiLeaks.
