Today is International Women’s Day - a day to recognise, celebrate and empower women across the globe. One of this year’s themes is Inspire Inclusion, which is particularly fitting for the 1 in 5 women who are not mothers, who are excluded from so many conversations, communities and opportunities throughout their lives.
At The Non-Mum Network we believe that ALL women deserve to be included and treated equally - both in the workplace and society in general - regardless of race, age, sexuality, religion, relationship status AND reproductive status. Your value as a woman is not enhanced or reduced depending on whether or not you have given birth.
If you agree, please consider how you may better include your childless and childfree female friends, family and colleagues.
You could also sign our petition to get reproductive status added as a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010, and show your commitment to including ALL women, not just mothers:
