Women In Technology - Friday Links - 01/04/2022
Hi all,
A big thank you to all of you that joined us on WIT Drinks in R1 last Friday! We are organizing more in-person events and we are looking forward to our reunions.
For this snowy April’s Friday, here are the Friday Links to keep you company.
Imagine
One more meeting with colleagues referring to engineers with he/his.
And then for sure myself I am doing the same unconscious assumptions when talking about nurses, school teachers or someone leaving early to pick up their kids.
This campaign was created by the CPB ad agency in London to tackle gender bias.
Maybe these small things will make us stop and think..

In politics
- That was Madeleine, always cutting right to the heart of the matter with clarity and courage. She pushed the envelope her entire life. She did it on behalf of women and girls, shattering the glass ceiling of diplomacy as the first woman to serve as secretary of state and calling out atrocities against women all over the world.

- Égalité femmes-hommes : ce que proposent les candidats à la présidentielle:
Malgré le nombre de candidates femmes à la présidentielle, le sujet des droits des femmes reste, pour la plupart des candidats, un sujet qui est absent ou pas suffisamment traité à nos yeux ou cela va dans la mauvaise direction
