A report recently published by Bond UK calls for a shift away from INGOs' Eurocentric approaches, which often reinforce neo-imperialist structures that keep communities in the Global South underdeveloped. WRC has long advocated for investment in local women’s organisations across the UK, while confronting similar issues of the industrialisation of our sector. We recognise that poverty and inequality cannot be effectively addressed by systems that fail to redistribute power and resources.

New LinkedIn data shows a concerning trend: the share of women being hired into senior leadership roles in the UK has dropped to 37.1% in 2024, down from 37.8% in 2022. The number of women in senior leadership roles has not only stalled but is also declining—especially for Black and minoritised women. One key factor cited is the lack of mentorship, allyship, and investment in building the confidence and management skills of women. The Network for Black Women Leaders is dedicated to reversing this trend.
