This wasn바카라 사이트檛 just a celebration and a pat on the back, it was a way for us to move the conversation to the next level and see what we can do next to make real changes to gender inequality.
Our guest speaker, Nadia, provided the 바카라 사이트榩enny drop바카라 사이트� moment of the day when she told us that society doesn바카라 사이트檛 allow men to break free of their stereotypical 바카라 사이트榖read winner 바카라 사이트檙ole, which in turn impacts on a woman바카라 사이트檚 choices too.
This really hit home with our audience as we understand men have an important part to play in creating the change.
Nadia바카라 사이트檚 findings are based on strong research, so it is something WiN Cumbria is going to take forward, to see how we can help address some of the issues facing men in Cumbria, like flexible working and unconscious bias, for example.
I urge anyone, male or female, with an interest in helping to drive gender balance in the area, to join us as we continue our mission to create an inclusive and fair environment that helps attract, retain and build a diverse workforce of the future, for Cumbria and the UK.
