I’m not sure if my organisation are participating, can I share my experience anyway?
Yes, we invite all #WomenInSTEM to share their experience whether their organisation is participating or not!

“The modern workplace does not work for women. From its location, to its hours, to its regulatory standards, it has been designed around the lives of men and it is no longer fit for purpose. The world of work needs a wholesale redesign--of its regulations, of its equipment, of its culture--and this redesign must be led by data on female bodies and female lives.”
