🌟 On International Women's Day, let's honor the impactful contributions of women in technology. From Ada Lovelace, the visionary computer programmer, to contemporary leaders like Sheryl Sandberg, women have shaped the tech industry's trajectory. Their innovations and leadership inspire us to strive for inclusivity and equality. However, gender disparities persist, highlighting the importance of fostering an environment where all individuals can thrive. Let's celebrate the achievements of women in tech, advocate for diversity and inclusion, and work towards a future where every woman has the opportunity to succeed. #WomenInTech #InternationalWomensDay #DiversityAndInclusion 💻👩💼🚀

Today, as a team, we celebrated #iwd2024 with a brilliant panel discussion and insightful input from leading women in BT. IWD is as relevant now as it has ever been as we strive to create a workplace that equally supports men and women in their careers. This is not a time to be silent or content with what we have achieved to date. We must and will call out the lack of female representation in the 'C' Suite; we will take steps to close the gender pay gap (after all, if we had more female bosses, do we really think the gender pay gap would be where it is now?); we will challenge the disparity in the advancement of women in the early stages of their career; we will support women by ironing out microaggressions and creating flexible working models that enable, instead of hinder, advancement; we will invest in women to accelerate progress. Let's not get comfortable in the aggregate numbers. Let's not wait for others to speak up. We will only get change if we persist. Speak up and speak loud! Let's make everyone sit up and listen! In the meantime, I leave you with this letter written by the fabulous Shirley Manson to her niece that formed part of the amazing Letters Live series in 2018. As a woman and as the mother of a 9 year old daughter, this resonates so much with me. #iwd2024womenleadingtheway

Taking a moment to share some of the incredible stories that have come through in the first two days of the #GirlsResist campaign. In the past 48 hours, we've been moved by stories ranging from resisting societal expectations to standing up against abuse and discrimination. Here are some of the highlights: 💥 Sarah on refusing the stereotype that "good women" self-sacrifice https://lnkd.in/gd393hbP  💥 Lizzy on courageously standing up to abuse as a 9-year-old girl https://lnkd.in/gdbr3W8K 💥 Bumai on expressing identity and resistance through fashion https://lnkd.in/g4qxtYH9 💥 Salome on the need for women to be politically active on the issues that impact our lives https://lnkd.in/gEk8PEWh 💥 And Rejoice on challenging sexist norms in public spaces https://lnkd.in/gV5RDUzf Thank you to Lolo Cynthia for leading the curation of these stories.

This Women's Month, let's talk about confidence! I've noticed women operating at different "levels" - not about age or education, but about self-awareness and purpose. Level 1: The woman who rocks her identity and purpose. Level 2: The woman mostly sure of herself, but still seeks validation. ✨ Level 3: The woman navigating her path, finding her voice. Here's the key: These levels aren't superior or inferior, it's about awareness! Knowing our level helps us make the most of every situation. What level do you resonate with? Let's chat in the comments! #WomensMonth #ConfidenceGoals #EmpoweringWomen

If you do one thing today, listen to this. It's a harrowing re-account of Harriet Harman's life in politics - and the blatant misogyny and sexism she experienced throughout much of her career. I encourage any men connected with me on here to listen to this, and to really try and understand how Harriet's struggles embody the challenges and discrimination which many of the women in our own lives have experienced. It's an incredibly eye opening listen with a powerful message about how although equality is now the norm in conversations, there is still much change needed to make it a practical reality. As the end of this interview identifies - there is a danger that misogynistic role models are negatively influencing younger generations, so it's incumbent on all of us to challenge that and set better examples for young men.

Social media has given women a powerful platform to speak out, but it’s also opened the floodgates to a disturbing level of abuse. When strong women advocate for change, it seems like they become easy targets for hate. I was just reading this article about the backlash women face online, and it's shocking how many are vilified simply for sharing their opinions. The very platforms that allow us to amplify our voices also expose us to intense scrutiny, often by those hiding behind anonymity. As a woman who’s seen the ugly side of social media, I can’t help but feel both outraged and frustrated. It’s hard enough to challenge societal norms, but the constant fear of harassment or worse shouldn’t be part of the equation. This needs to change - not just in how we talk about women in the public eye, but in how social media platforms hold abusers accountable. We need to ensure that using our voices doesn't come at such a heavy cost. #SocialMedia #WomenEmpowerment #OnlineAbuse #SpeakOut #Equality #MentalHealthMatters

Why are women often defined by their political affiliations instead of their inherent identity as females? Every woman deserves respect, rights, and empowerment regardless of her party, social status or background! #himcom #WomenSupportingWomen #RespectWomen #WomenEmpowerment #GenderEquality #EmpoweringWomen #WomenUnite #SupportWomen #EqualityForAll #WomenMatter #Feminism #FemaleEmpowerment #journalism #AajTak #UnitedForWomen #WomenCan #WomenDo #heritage_institute_of_management_and_communication #indias_leading_mass_communication_college

In the interconnected world of the internet, social media has become a powerful tool for communication, activism, and community-building. However, social media can also be used for harassing others and spreading hate- a reality that disproportionately Muslim women. Earlier this year we compiled experiences, and hopes for the future from four muslim women Nabiya, Maria,Bisma and Fatima as this document ‘Digital Battlegrounds’ released under CC-BY-SA https://lnkd.in/gNaGRS4C
