Chief Executive of the Fawcett Society- all views my own
Joined September 2011
What an incredible moment- we have more women in parliament than ever. The numbers matter but so does standing together to drive change for women. Excited with @fawcettsociety to be bringing this powerhouse group of women together.
Now that there's more women in Parliament than ever before, the real work begins. Fawcett is thrilled to be convening women MPs to facilitate launch of a women's caucus. Read more:

An historic moment, the highest proportion of women ever at cabinet. 🎉🎉🎉 Watching out for that women and equalities brief . .
We’re pleased to see 11/24 ministers attending new cabinet are women. This is a historic high and within touching distance of 50/50. But we are still waiting to hear about the Women and Equalities brief. [1/2].

It's #EqualPayDay. From today women effectively work for free till the end of the year because of the gender pay gap. If you're 40+ the gap wont close before you reach pension age! New research from @fawcettsociety calls for job flex from advertising stage.

Great research from @CoalitionEdCare launched in parliament today on Retention&return: Delivering the expansion of early years entitlement in England. We must grow the workforce AND keep the amazing educators already working under huge pressure for low pay

Thanks to @ShelaghFogarty for the change to talk about the misogyny we've seen laid bare with Helen MacNamara's evidence to the COVID Inquiry. This is a nasty and devastating example of something many women know all too well.
'This is by no means an isolated incident.'. Claims that Dominic Cummings was misogynistic towards Helen MacNamara remind us that women are often expected not to make men in power feel uncomfortable, Fawcett Society CEO ï¼ JemimaOlchawski tells ï¼ ShelaghFogarty.

Interesting discussion from @InstituteGC on seizing the opps of AI. My q for the panel: how do we ensure AI doesnt reinforce gender inequality. Great insights from @jesswhittles about importance of transparency in systems & datasets for accountability & needing women in the room

I'm at tory conference bumping into brilliant sector leaders and fringe hopping. Great event yesterday from @britishfuture on social mobility- my takeaway:for women we need to broaden the toolbox from education and job opps to inc childcare, flex work and rebalancing care
