SUMMARY - Tokenism vs. Authentic Inclusion

An organization adds one woman to its all-male board and declares commitment to gender diversity. A company features a disabled person in its advertising but won't hire disabled employees. A consultation includes community representatives who are never actually listened to. These scenarios illustrate tokenism—the practice of making symbolic gestures toward inclusion without meaningful change.
