Heather has also spoken with some of the trailblazing women working in private security. Heather Baily, our Chair, has written an article reflecting on the amazing women working in the private security industry she has met over the past year. Today (8 March) is International Women's Day, an annual event that celebrates and recognises the achievements of women.

I am the UK and Ireland customer engineering south maintenance technician manager for Air Products, an industrial gases company. This means that I manage a wide ...

While we need to address the gender balance, I am living proof that there is already space for women to take a seat at the table, especially in sectors that have traditionally been male dominated. We’re collaborating with CATCH – an industry-led partnership supporting the process, energy, engineering and renewable industries in the Humber – as we look to choose the cohort for September 2023 and I’m hopeful that we’ll see a greater balance of applications. While it can feel like a challenge to be the only woman in the room to start, we also need to remember that manufacturing and industry, like every other sector, benefits from diversity of thought and approach. It comes back to my mantra; the right person for the job should be successful in that role, regardless of gender or background. We’re already beginning to see more applications from women on our apprenticeship scheme and my hope is this number will continue to grow. A fundamental part of my job is to make sure people are trained to the right level with the right documentation. It takes a huge amount of confidence in your own capabilities to do this role, and as women are more prone to self-doubt – a KPMG study found that 75% of women have personally experienced imposter syndrome – this might be one reason why we’re under-represented here. The unique perspectives and experiences our employees bring to their work are essential to meeting our customers’ needs and bringing innovation to the wide range of markets we serve, from food processing to metals processing and transportation. In my experience, the importance of safety cannot be overemphasised. I’m proud to oversee a team of 14 engineers and one apprentice, and every day is different – there’s no typical day, no typical week. It feels good to know that my perspective is supported by the wider business too. It is a mantra I’ve taken throughout my career, and something that is very much supported here at Air Products but it’s worth saying again in light of International Women’s Day.

At Dentons, our commitment to inclusion, diversity and equity (ID&E) is essential to the success of our people and our ability to offer the best counsel to ...

This International Women's Day ditch the hashtags and let's dive into why equality matters in sport, life, and beyond. Every. Single. Day.

This reality has been the journey of many entrepreneurs, and the women we feature in our business roundup are no different. The value of mentorship early in your career is infinite. The value of mentorship is priceless. The podcast, Starting Line 1928, set out to do their part in preserving history by documenting oral histories of female distance runners. Gloria Ratti, chief archivist for the Boston Athletic Association, was present over the period when running saw the massive growth of female participants. Let’s focus on the other 364 days of the year.

Read an interview with Crystal North, Director of Sales Enablement, Air Force combat veteran, and leader of Applause's new women's affinity group.

Some people take that for granted, [the ability to balance work with external priorities] but I feel like that’s one of the biggest causes of stress – when life happens, to know that I don’t have to worry about this place is amazing. We’re trying to get feedback from women who wouldn’t necessarily normally speak up to try to get insight into what they want to learn about from others in the organization. Since one of our biggest initiatives[as a company is to globally align this year, I really wanted to get people globally involved. Then we had a meet and greet, where we talked through what we’d like to get from the affinity group. I’m a connector, that’s why I’m in sales enablement – to bring people together in a different way is fulfilling. In this interview, we explore what fuels her drive to #EmbraceEquity and how the Applause culture fosters women’s growth and fights gender stereotypes.

The Iranian-British actress and activist has been using her platform to speak out against the suppression of women’s rights in Iran. Exposing children to female leaders was found to counter the perception these weren’t roles for girls, and could increase girls’ interest in leadership roles.

I feel like progress on respecting and facilitating more of a work life balance could really help keep not just more experienced women in hospitality but everyone.How can the sector #EmbraceEquility? There is still a lot of change needed in the way we breed creativity for our teams as equals.What are the barriers that are still to be overcome and how could this be tackled? In the early days I was constantly referred to as a great ‘female’ bartender. One of the biggest and best experiences I’ve had was moving to be part of the opening team at Super Lyan, Amsterdam. The consequence of that was I learned to find my own voice and stand behind my beliefs with conviction. It’s vital everyone has got time to be themselves and do what they love, as the threat of burn out, exhaustion and anxiety risks taking the very best women out of work far too soon.How can the sector #EmbraceEquity? working with brands etc needing to be agreed by both of us and not just my male business partner.Have things changed for women in the sector since you began your career? Being a female manager back then was constantly challenging and by the time I was 25 I left the profession to do something completely different. There is a lot of rhetoric in the media about women not being able to have it all; you can’t be a great Mum and have a successful career. Diversity in recruitment language is always the biggest on my agenda, make sure your place of work is approachable to everyone. Conversations around ways we can encourage and support diversity in the drinks industry need to continue 365 days a year. I am also incredibly proud to now be both a business owner and new parent, but this is perhaps the most difficult juggling act of all.

I am going to keep that mindset at the forefront as I cultivate my relationships, continue my growth, and encourage the growth of others. Kate: I am very fortunate to be celebrating with our rising Dechert women as one of the panelists at this year’s SASS gathering in Barcelona. Dominique Crenn is one of the only women chefs in the U.S. Upon my return, I was pleasantly surprised to learn of the growth of programs like the Global Women’s Initiative and Sponsorship and Sustained Support (SASS), as well as the commitment from firm leadership to diversify our attorney base across all levels and our diversity, equity and inclusion programming. Equality means each individual or group is given the same resources or opportunities, whereas equity recognizes that each person has different circumstances, and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome. Kate: The challenge exists of embracing flexible ways to encourage and enable women to achieve success both professionally (i.e.

If there's not a centre, then just get out for a walk, a kickabout and get yourself moving. "When you walk through these doors, we all have different stories and different backgrounds, and different challenge to this day. It's easy to say but if there's one near you, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain - I'm living proof of that. I was detained in hospital and there was a student nurse who came up to me - because I was always kicking about in the garden with a football - and said 'have you heard of this'. It's not about anything else than that person and what they require." "Coming from some of the same backgrounds, you make a better connection sometimes.

By assisting women with digital and financial literacy trainings and working with community champions, WFP helps them to open their own banking, mobile money or other digital accounts, bringing economic benefits including food security to these women and, in turn, to their families and entire societies. Discussions also highlighted the achievements of rural women related to digital literacy, digital skills and agripreneurship. The [FAO Office of Innovation](https://www.fao.org/office-of-innovation/en) established the [Global Network on Digital Agriculture and Innovation Hubs](https://www.fao.org/flexible-multipartner-mechanism/projects/project-detail/en/c/1473596/), to support its members to foster innovation within their digital agriculture ecosystem, with a special focus on women and young agripreneurs, among other programmes. “Putting resources in the hands of women is a no-brainer and with this comes the transfer of knowledge and skills including digital literacy to help these women realize their full potential. “Food security for households and communities is in the hands of the women. Women in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) are 16 percent less likely to use mobile internet than men, and progress in reducing the mobile internet gender gap has stalled. For example, through its cash-based transfer programmes across the globe, WFP seeks to directly address the barriers to digital and financial services borne out of socio-cultural norms and gender-based stereotypes. IFAD is an international financial institution and a United Nations specialized agency. “Admittedly, it is discouraging to celebrate International Women’s Day in a time when we are going backwards on gender equality and are seeing widening gender gaps in science, technology and innovation,” said FAO Deputy Director-General Beth Bechdol. “Gender inequality and the urban-rural divide will only worsen unless we create a more inclusive and prosperous society for everyone.” [“DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality: Leveraging the transformative power of inclusive digitalization and innovation for rural women and girls](https://www.un.org/en/observances/womens-day)

The annual event will also address the existing gaps for women and girls in accessing digital spaces and skills, as well as the dangers they face from online violence. She added: “Our vision of equality, of what our world could be, for all of us, can and will include the equal enjoyment of the fruits of technology and innovation without fear of violence or abuse of any sort. The disparity between women and men and girls and boys in relation to digital adoption and their relative opportunities to access, use, and benefit from digital technology remain a major barrier to equal participation in tech design and governance. Women and girls remain underrepresented across the creation, use, and regulation of technology. Their creativity, knowledge and perspectives can shape a future where technology contributes to transforming social norms, amplifying women’s voices, pushing forward against online harassment, preventing the perpetuation of algorithmic biases, and distributing the benefits of digitalization as the great equalizer to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.” And when women are under-represented in developing new technologies, discrimination may be baked in from the start”.

Martech is the intersection of marketing, where women hold 48% of all jobs, and tech, which is only 27% women.

In stark contrast, women held just [26.7% of tech jobs](https://www.zippia.com/advice/diversity-in-high-tech-statistics/) in the U.S. [47.8% of all marketing jobs](https://www.zippia.com/marketer-jobs/demographics/) in the U.S. “Pivotal organizations like SheRunsIt and inter-organizational mentor groups are paving the way for women like myself to have a seat at the table.” “Another important way to empower women in the workplace is to encourage more cross-pollination within departments,” says Alex Theriault.
