And that’s a wrap! Ten amazing months looking back through suffrage history, where we are today and what we need to do to improve gender equality in the workplace. Our time capsule is sealed and awaits being opened in 2028. We have 10 years to make a huge difference -Take Action!

Hugely enjoyed contributing to the 100 years, 100 women blog series (which formed part of the brilliant @XgovCentenary celebrations) earlier this year. I have since moved roles, but my magic wand sentiments remain the same! 💁🏻‍♀️ #Vote100 100years100women.blog.gov.uk…

Hearing the voices of Suffragettes who secured the vote for women at the closing event of the suffrage centenary campaign @XGovCentenary. Teamwork by champions, networks and volunteers in the UK and abroad made this possible. @DFID ⁦@KeelaShackell⁩
