Yes we went there. Sharing the platform with incredible interventions that make a difference but it’s not enough. 1 Remove the stupid tax law which doesn’t allow entrepreneurs to claim for childcare but does allow them to claim for a chauffeur 2. Include a care tip on top for grants and investments that go to mothers/carers of early year children who are also FOUNDERS! 3. Build a movement where women and carers who are barried from networking spaces because they have a childcare duty, are mentioned and promoted by others in events they can’t get too. I would visibly pledge for this.
NEW: ‘If you want equality, it’s going to cost’: Women in social enterprise urge employers and investors to address ‘motherhood penalty’ Employers and investors need to be willing to put their money where their mouths are if they want to tackle the barriers that make it difficult for mothers and other carers to build a careers, according to the speakers in our latest WISE100 Lunchtime Takeaways webinar. https://buff.ly/3xYgEKF Camilla Rigby | Samantha Cuffy | The Women's Work Lab | Esther Foreman | The Social Change Agency | The Social Change Nest | Victoria Papworth | NatWest Social & Community Capital (registered charity number: 1079626) | Laura Joffre #motherhood #carers #family #womeninbusiness #inclusion

It was a pleasure to be pulled to the side of the Impact Europe conference to talk about what drives ENAR Foundation - European Network Against Racism Foundation and European Network Against Racism Aisbl (ENAR) to look more closely at financial flows and their contribution to systemic disadvantages affecting racialised communities not just in Europe but indeed the world.
How can impact investment better support and include racialised communities? Kim Smouter, executive director at the European Network Against Racism Aisbl (ENAR) and ENAR Foundation - European Network Against Racism Foundation, says impact investors need to “understand the day to day realities that racialised communities face”, during Impact Europe’s annual Business of Impact Gathering. #socent #impact #business

“This is my worm’s eye view… I’m crawling and I see everything, and it’s very clear.” Muhammad Yunus, Nobel peace prize winner and champion of microfinance, told Pioneers Post’s Anna Patton why university education gave him a “bird’s eye view” – and why his real education began when he got much closer to the ground.
