"The default model of masculinity isn't working anymore." Join this International Men’s Day Celebration with Advance on 15th November. You will discover a male-modeled, real-solutions approach by and for men, endorse heart-based leadership principles, explore how to create a workplace (and world) where everyone feels seen, heard and respected, and discuss how diversity can bolster the bottom line and create a culture where everyone in the workplace wins.

"INTEGRATING GENDER ANALYSIS INTO RESEARCH” Workshop
16-17 November - Paris & online
The CNRS team, coordinator of the GENDER-NET Plus project, is looking forward to holding the first workshop for the scientific community of the 13 Gender-NET Plus research projects!
The workshop aims to explore and discuss approaches for integrating gender and sex-based analysis into research content, across various topics and disciplinary perspectives.
The goal of the workshop is to produce joint documents that will provide best practices and insights to researchers beyond GENDER-NET Plus on how to better integrate sex and gender in scientific research.
You can register here in advance for free to join the morning sessions online
Onsite participation for GENDER-NET Plus community and guest speakers only

The next decade of Women in Work will be shaped by the transition of economies to net zero emissions. With new jobs concentrated in sectors that are male-dominated, men are immediately better placed to take advantage of the new opportunities. Without taking action to improve women’s representation, this sectoral transition will increase the gender gap in employment. Read more in the Women In Work 2022 report by PwC.

One in four pregnant women reluctant to share news with employers, according to a new poll from Culture Shift. This figures is incredibly discouraging and proves that there is still a lot of work to do within organisations to make them inclusive places to work. https://workplaceinsight.net/one-in-four-pregnant-women-reluctant-to-share-news-with-employers/
