📣 "At the end of the day, we’re talking about much more than individual companies paying women less... It’s a systemic societal issue that requires systemwide answers.” Our Research Fellow @minnacc featured in Bloomberg! 🎉

It’s #EqualPayDay, the day in the year when women effectively stop being paid compared to men, due to the gender pay gap. This year we’ve calculated that women take home, on average, £564 less than men each month. What would you do with this missing money? https://t.co/sgiVkZpqIZ
Hugely energising meeting - 💯focused on reaching our target of a gender diverse parliament by 2028. Thanks to our great panel - @Baronessjenkin@mrs_creynolds@carla_denyer and chair @BBCcarolynquinn and to all the attendees who showed support and made great interventions.
@HelenPankhurst kicks off our gender equal parliament event. "The spirit of this event is the spirit of @CentenaryAction . We must get to 5050 by 2028. We can only do if we address the issues in each party. We need civil society to call for change too"
Great to be in parliament today with @minnacc to discuss @fawcettsociety@GIWLkings audit for the @AppgWiP on progress towards a gender inclusive parliament by 2028. Huge thanks to @MariaMillerUK@ApsanaBegumMP @MaryRobinson01 for such helpful insights, support and challenge.
Fantastic conversation between @JuliaGillard and @wmarybeard tonight reflecting on misogyny, imposter syndrome and how to cope with trolls online or tony abbott in an airport lounge @GIWLkings
@Abi_Rimmer Hi Abi, I had chemo with a 2 month old. I would say there was 4 days in every session where I would have been a serious liability in looking after the baby - too tired, sick - but fine most of the rest of the time. @MummysStar / @bubbleChildcare for an adhoc nanny?
