9 in 10 single parents are women and are the sole carers and breadwinners for their families. We fully support the @EngenderScot #MakingWorkVisible campaign to fully recognise & document women's unpaid labour this #IWD2024 and every day. ⏬
👩🔧 We know much of the work done by women is often invisible in society.
⚖ Women's equality cannot be realised while women still do so much more childcare, care for older & disabled people, & housework than men.

💬 Since 2017, Engender has been marking International Women's Day by asking women across Scotland to share their day - our #MakingWorkVisible campaign may be over, but our work to recognise & document women's unpaid labour & work for women's substantive equality goes on!

I didn’t do much for #IWD due to having a house full of Covid - was even too poorly/busy to do #MakingWorkVisible (ironically!). There are so many women who make life better at work & wider & too many to list. Some I’ve been thinking about & being inspired by most recently are:

23.30 replying to a message from a desperate friend. Thinking of my mum today - it would have been her and my dads 54th wedding anniversary today on #IWD2023 but dad didn’t remember. Missing her a lot. Carrying grief is hard work. Loving is hard work. #makingworkvisible
9.40 FaceTime with teen about her day. Sent her tickets I had bought for her and her stepsister to go to @FatboySlim tomorrow 9.50 illicit FaceTime with son about his day. Both at their dads. #MakingWorkVisible
7-9.15 spending time with 16 amazing women sharing, caring, laughing and crying. And eating. Another great session but running a session takes energy. 9.05pm realised I had spilt my dinner down my jumper. Great… So loved spending time with these women. #MakingWorkVisible
@EngenderScot That # with the odd exemption was a total embarrassment. You have lost connection with
women in Scotland.
What work will YOU do to reconnect? Given that you are extremely well paid to do so.

6pm headed out to buy supplies snacks and drinks for evening session of womens group for @broke_not . Got there for 6.40 to set up and checked in on son and his new table top group at same venue. #MakingWorkVisible
Nearly done. #MakingWorkVisible means different things at different times. A decade ago, it would've involved a lot of childcare. Last year, more about mum. Today it's been about trying to fill the gap being left by party politics regarding the representation of women's lives.
And I'm currently kid-trapped on the edge of the bed while my sleep hating child finally heads off to dreamland (while still sorting out @girlguiding admin bits and parent messages) #makingworkvisible
So after dinner (@BrianMcleish is chef in our house), there was a bit of playtime for Tiny while I caught up on more @girlguiding admin (sorting out safeguarding training for some new young volunteers) #makingworkvisible
OK, that's me over and out! I'm curling up in bed with the latest issue of the @TwinsTrust magazine which arrived today. Tired but happy. #MakingWorkVisible
Husband did washing up while I tidied. Now we're both settling in to do one final burst of work before calling it a night. I quite like getting a bit done while the house is quiet. #MakingWorkVisible
Disappointed that @EngenderScot don't think that female representation and women's health worth a retweet in their #MakingWorkVisible campaign.
#IWD2023 #InternationalWomensDay
Mostly done, just a few to go. Campaigning to get a woman's health expert onto Edinburgh City Council tomorrow, and nudge the sex balance a bit nearer 50/50. #Votes4Elaine Can't think of a more appropriate way to spend #IWD2023 #MakingWorkVisible
I’m going to sign off with the last thing I do before finally putting my feet up.
Needed some sort of exercise & now using a weighted hula thing. So for the next 20 minutes I’ll be spinning this round then a cuppa & bed after the tidying up is all done!
