@HeydiFoster Well said Heydi! A call to action and change is well over due.

As we celebrate #IWD2023 & recognise the incredible work done by women in the not-for-profit sector, we need to ask what is stopping fair & equal pay in a sector fighting for the rights & equality of others >> https://t.co/v9M4oqiGzD
