Women at Work: International Women's Day Event - Choose to Challenge

Why, after decades of legislation, equality in education and shifts in gender norms, have women still not achieved equal pay and progression in the UK workplace?

Join us for a special LIVE event for #IWD2021 to discuss this important question. We will be busting myths about women at work, revealing the persistent problems that stand in our way and finding the solutions to move forward.

This event will expand on The Female Lead’s new research, Women at Work: Breaking Free of the Unentitled Mindset, which takes a deep dive into the complex decisions that women have to make around their careers and the world that they have to navigate.

We have an expert panel to discuss the continual barriers women face, new challenges that have arisen in the last year and discuss what businesses can do to solve these problems.

We will be joined by...

Edwina Dunn OBE, Founder of The Female Lead and data science entrepreneur

Dr Terri Apter, Cambridge University Psychologist and author

Harriet Minter, journalist, broadcaster and author of WFH (Working From Home): How to build a career you love when you're not in the office

Vanessa Sanyauke, founder of Girls Talk London, writer and mentor

Dulcie Swanston, business coach and speaker

The theme of IWD 2021 is #ChooseToChallenge and that is what this event is all about - how can we choose to challenge the structures that hold women back and find a way towards equality, success and fulfilment. Join us for what will be an inspiring and powerful discussion!
