🤸♀️ We don’t talk enough about the gender leisure gap. Whether it’s childcare, caring for older parents or doing more household chores, every week women have less leisure time than men.
This has knock-on effects. Leisure time is important for our mental and physical wellbeing, it enhances creativity, and lack of it negatively impacts productivity.
Thank you World Economic Forum for this important post highlighting the gender gap in unpaid care work.
At 3 Sisters Ventures (“3SV”) Collective we invest in start-ups that are helping to close this gap. We’re particularly interested in Family Tech solutions focusing on care that help make the lives of women easier.

This week is #internationalwomensday2024
We see a lot of Mother's Day celebrations tacked onto IWD posts which limit their audience. This excludes 1 in women who could be reading but won't as they'll feel excluded, unseen and hurt.
***1 in 5 Women*** who could be excluded by International Women's Day content... 🤔
Here's a few reasons why women are childless not by choice, through no fault of their own.
- Poverty
- Chronic illness
- Unsafe relationship
- Male infertility
- Not meeting someone who wants to co-parent
- Disability
- Fears about the climate
- Meeting someone to co-parent with and they change their mind
- Co-parent doesn't want children
- Problems with egg retrieval or storage complications
- Unable to afford ongoing embryo storage
- Caring for someone during the fertile years
- Not realised that female fertility can be a problem after twenties
- Addiction and recovery after fertile years
- Vasectomy
- Widowed
- Unable to afford fertility treatment (estimated at £13k per cycle) or it's not available on the NHS in the postcode lottery
- Being unable to adopt because of .... not enough money, single, wrong gender, ethnicity, postcode, age, age gap, no garden, dog/cat/pet
- Unable to adopt due to trauma from failed IVF or not 'over' fertility issues
As Jody Day says in her excellent blog '50 Ways Not To Be a Mother, with apologies to Paul Simon' - "Many people think that the room called childlessness has just two doors: ‘didn’t want’ or ‘couldn’t have’. Those of us who are childless-not-by-choice know that it’s way more complex than that!"
When you're creating content this week, think about how to include women who can't have children. We all have caring roles, women are defined by more than motherhood and not all automatically view 10th March as a celebration. We're not mad cat (or dog) ladies and we aren't all rich and carefree. This TEDX talk by Jody is on the lost tribe of childless women, from 6 years ago, but very relevant today. It's well worth your time.
