An International Women’s Day blog post on our website
Choose to Challenge Ableism
As International Women’s Day approaches, I’ve been thinking about this year’s theme #ChooseToChallenge, and what I can do to make a difference.
I’m extremely passionate about raising awareness on the invisible barriers people from marginalised groups face in the corporate world, however, I’ve never explored the intersections of disability and identity formation in the workplace (or wider society).
Please read, comment and share my article. Hopefully, you’ll be inspired to create a working environment that supports colleagues with disabilities, physical or mental health conditions as opposed to one that inadvertently leaves many feeling excluded.
Be kind to yourself and others!

Half of women in UK fear equality is going back to 1970s – survey
On International Women’s Day, we can celebrate, we can rejoice, we can reach out to the women in our lives and tell them how much they mean to us. We can lift each other up and put our achievements in the spotlight.
But we also need to keep fighting, stay informed, stay angry at a world that is still very much against us, and in some ways going backwards and threatening to undo decades of progress. We can say ‘Thank you for the flowers, but what we really want are freedom, justice, and equal rights’.
