In this final episode of Sexism in the City, we'll be discussing the financial impact of Covid-19 on women, the legal structures in place to support us, and we put your burning questions to an employment solicitor!

We're back talking with the Young Women's Trust, and we also interview Rosie from InChorus Group - a fabulous organisation that enables employees to anonymously report bias and microaggressions in the workplace.

With special thanks to The Young Women's Trust, InChorus Group and Alicia Collinson from Thrive Law.

Can women have it all?

Join us as we chat through your answers to this question that kick start some amazing discussions around what having 'it all' means to each of us, maternity policies, your rights, and the support working mothers need to ensure they are given the same opportunities as everyone else.

We also talk about the gender pay and promotions gap, and highlight just how far we still have to go until women are paid equally in the workplace.

Have you ever noticed how some work environments are still unfit for women? How some uniforms only come in men's sizes? Or, how so often, networking events and settings naturally exclude women, too?

Join us for this episode of Sexism in the City as we discuss all of this, as well as sexual harassment in the workplace.

Some of the topics and experiences discussed in this episode might be triggering to some listeners as we talk about real stories around sexual harassment in the workplace.

Welcome to Sexism in the City!

Girls in Work are back with a very special mini-series of the Girls in Work podcast. We’ll be highlighting the sexism and challenges women still face in the workplace every day. From the UK to Australia, we’ve had over 300 of you share your thoughts and experiences.

We’ll be covering the gender pay and promotions gap, sexual harassment in the workplace, the impact of Covid-19 on women, and of course those all too familiar jokes and behaviours that are so often passed off as banter.

The first episode will be released on Monday, June 7th, so make sure you’re following and subscribed to Girls in Work wherever you get your podcasts!
