Woman looking to create change
When I first discovered that the Parliamentary Women and Equalities Committee here in the UK was calling for evidence about the unequal impact of Covid19 on different groups of people (eg: women; Black and Minority Ethnic groups; people living with disabilities or long term illnesses; people undergoing gender reassignment; members of the LGBTQ community) I […]
“As part of my commitment to get uncomfortable in the fight against racism, I want to start right here.” These were the words I typed into our community Facebook group this week, knowing that what I was about to write would fail. That in opening this conversation I would inevitably make ignorant, inexcusable mistakes. But […]

“Since they are especially skilled in nurturing compassion and human values, we need women to take the lead in creating a more compassionate society.” said the Dalai Llama in honour of International Women’s Day.
