One more week to apply for CEO of SOSCN. Excellent opportunity for a strategic third sector lead to make a huge difference in this rapidly changing policy landscape. Get in touch with myself or any other board member for a chat if you’d like to know more. https://t.co/VXiWiaTGt7

Hey! We haven’t posted in a while. It’s not that we aren’t here - we are! We are just really busy with other stuff at the moment. However we are always up for opportunities to discuss or share our work and ideas. Please do get in touch!

Today is #EqualPayDay, the day when, because of the gender pay gap, women overall in the UK stop being paid compared to men.

Our new report shows that the inequality of flexible work fuels the gender pay gap.

It’s the drip drip drip drip drip….

This is so painfully true.

If we are thinking about equitable approaches to tackling gender stereotypes, this was a huge missed opportunity!

Apologies - aware that a few people have been in contact and we have not had a chance to respond yet. The joys of this being a side project rather than a day job. We are keen to chat & take on opportunities so bear with us - we will be in touch 🤪

@mediaco_op @WomenDeliver @DCAF_Geneva @FoEScot @WGC_Climate @Consortium_GSHR Brilliant!

[Challenging Gender Stereotypes @GFNScotland]

Well done to all the nominees, particularly those north of the border! Sadly we couldn’t afford the fee to have our book considered for the book prize - probably just as well for the other nominees 😂😂😂

Big congrats to our friend @DrRobynMuir on the publication of her book! We met with Robyn as we worked on our own book - her work is really inspiring!

Ooooh, has to be Moana for me! 🏝️⛰️

This feels really relevant to some of the discussion we had yesterday about girls and construction!

[Challenging Gender Stereotypes @GFNScotland]

Someone at todays event asked “why aren’t we getting training on this stuff as staff groups or at in-service?” We agree! We wish we could do more!

[Challenging Gender Stereotypes @GFNScotland]

@MrKinnaird_SW @UHI_Inverness @CriticalEYears Do tell us what you make of it - good and bad - we are always ready to learn! There’s a chapter on the early years workforce that you might be particularly interested in. Lovely to meet you too!

[Challenging Gender Stereotypes @GFNScotland]

Really wonderful and reassuring day at the @UHI_Inverness Gender in Early Years conference today. So thankful to have been invited along to contribute to this important conversation. Inspiring words from @CriticalEYears have given much food for thought!

What do you think? In our body image chapter we recommend moving away from commenting on people’s bodies generally. #BodyImage #GenderStereotypes

[Challenging Gender Stereotypes @GFNScotland]

We will also have a limited number of copies of our book for purchase at £15 (Cash only!) - which is the cheapest price you will find it anywhere. Bargain!!
