@Rob_Fiehn@sekfordesession Hi Rob. "It's currently easier to be a woman in engineering than a man" is the provocative title of the debate. Two engineers will argue for, and two engineers will argue against the motion, regardless of how they really feel about the statement.
We're co-hosting a debate with @sekfordesession on 11th October and we hope you'll join us to discuss gender, feminism and engineering. Sign up below:

We should also extend pay gap reporting to ethnicity and disability. This is especially important as there is no equal pay law in the UK for these protected characteristics.
Our second event is here! Join us virtually on Monday 15th March at 6pm where we'll be chatting about the gender pay gap in our industry. This event is open to unstructured members, allies & the general public.

we think it's important to platform and promote visible LGBT+ people in our industry.
Gaia and Rachel spoke to us about why they love engineering and the importance of LGBT+ networks in the workplace.

Without wide-ranging perspectives, our industry is on the backfoot when it comes to delivering an inclusive built environment that serves the needs of all. Are your employers Disability Confident? Do you know their disability inclusion policy? #IDPWD2020#InclusivityMatters
#intersectionality is at the heart of what unstructured is about. How many people with disabilities work in engineering? Not a lot of information available - our industry must measure to monitor progress and understand barriers! #IDPWD2020#womxninengineering
Even at a young age society teaches children that certain jobs are for certain genders. Toys with a STEM focus are 3 times as likely to be targeted at boys than girls, making girls decide STEM isn't meant to be for them. #genderneutraltoys#womeninengineering#stem#genderroles
