🧵(1/3) Last week, before #InternationalWomensDay, the UK Gov issued new guidance on gender pay gap action plans. From April 2026, large employers will be invited to voluntarily publish plans. By April 2027, this will be mandatory under the new Employment Rights Act.

Achieving workplace gender equality requires a collective effort from policymakers, employers, trade unions, civil society & individuals. 🤝Together we can influence policies, challenge outdated practices, & create opportunities where all women have a good working life. #IWD26

Last week, we attended @aminamwrc.bsky.social & Scot Gov #TheHiddenHarm event to examine how the far right weaponises VAWG, fuels racism & threatens women’s safety. Together we can reclaim the fight against gender-based violence through an anti-racist and intersectional lens. #16DaysofActivsm

Employers play a key role in tackling all forms of VAW. This starts with understanding the impact it can have on women and their experience at work. Our #16DaysOfActivism blog discusses what needs to be done to make workplaces safer for victim-survivors of sexual violence. 📖

On Tuesday, we launched our latest research, #ExcludedByDesign: Research on disabled women's employment in Scotland. Our latest blog highlights the key findings from the report and the necessary action policymakers and employers must take. 📖 Read it here:

While there is focus on getting more disabled people into work, there’s much less on supporting progression. ​ Only 17% of disabled women felt their employer provided clear opportunities for progression​. #ExcludedByDesign

Today we’re launching our newest research on disabled women’s experiences of employment in Scotland. If you’re attending our event online or in person, use the hashtag #ExcludedByDesign

We're pleased to see this motion by Mercedes Villalba MSP highlighting our upcoming research on disabled women’s employment in Scotland. On Saturday we previewed #ExcludedByDesign at @scottishtuc.bsky.social annual Disabled Workers' Conference. The research will be officially launched tomorrow.
