This work builds on our Broken Ladders report, which found that 75% of women of colour have experienced racism at work, and 61% report changing themselves to ‘fit in’.

Misogynoir hinders Black women's career progression, wellbeing, and sense of belonging at work.

Drawing on interviews with women from various sectors, our latest report sheds light on the barriers they face, the personal toll it takes, and how they create joy despite this.

Great to see the momentum, effervescent energy and depth of allyship in the room yesterday. So excited to see how the LARCH will support our collective vision and efforts towards an anti-racist health and care sector for all Londoners. @LDN_Health @ProfKevinFenton @MichaelMarmot

Great dialogue at the first Women's Summit yesterday. Such energising discussions on how to tackle challenges in the women's sector. #IWD2023

[Sadiq Khan @SadiqKhan]

At City Hall, we lead by example:

♀ Groundbreaking policies on domestic abuse, acute period pain and menopause
♀ Sector-leading provisions for staff fleeing abuse including an interest-free loan

I'm calling on all public bodies to do the same. #IWD2023

Thankyou Abdi! 🙏🏾

Glad your org was there. This work is so important & reaches communities that can benefit - those disproportionately affected by the cost of living crisis - because of you and orgs like yours.

@MayorofLondon is making it easier for migrant Londoners, including Hongkongers, Ukrainians and Afghan evacuees, to access adult education, helping them gain new skills and build important social connections. This includes English language (ESOL) courses.

'They said if you're black, you should walk'

Nigerian student Jessica has kept in touch with us about her journey out of Ukraine. She is among the hundreds of thousands of people fleeing the country, and one of many #AfricansinUkraine who have described facing racism at borders.

@ArchaeologyFitz Not quite the same wfh situation but my partner has found noise-cancelling headphones a godsend when it comes to sharing spaces and disruptive noise! <3

@EquityLiteracy Amazing to hear Paul, let me know if you would like any support in the process! I've been involved in a few online healing spaces and can share what I've found has worked for me.

I haven’t tweeted anything on this account for the longest time and I wasn’t really expecting to share anything so personal. But it feels important to share these occurrences which have become far too normalised even in today’s world. (2/2)

Attending a @UniofOxford alumni event today with considerable trepidation. The first time I plucked up the courage to attend an alumni event, it ended with a white American male graduate criticising the Chinese Communist Party all whilst pointing at me drunkenly. (1/2)
