[Close the Gap @closethepaygap]

A great example of the need for an intersectional approach to data disaggregation; of the nearly 19,000 professors in British Universities only 25 are black women. Quality data collection allows a nuanced view of the gender pay gap and the race pay gaps.

Did you know that there were over 100 women on HMS Windrush and that they had to pay almost twice the fare? An interesting angle to explore perhaps for our Windrush 70 Creative Writing Competition... @LewesNibbler @QuireArt @LewesReadfest @LewesPriory

The vast majority of Wikipedia editors are men - and just 17% of its biographies are of women. We’re calling on Londoners to help us redress this gender imbalance and ensure women’s stories are fully represented online https://t.co/Q98QoJFEH2 #BehindEveryGreatCity
