Why the gender gap persists and how we can close it.
Women have made up roughly half of the college-educated workforce for years, and before the onset of the economic crisis of 2020, the gap between the percentage of women and the percentage of men in the labor force was the lowest on record. But women remain underrepresented in positions of power and status. The gender pay gap, for example, shows little movement, largely because high-paying jobs are the most gender-imbalanced. Even in areas where there are roughly equal numbers of men and women, or where women actually make up the majority, leadership ranks remain male-dominated. Read more.

This women event is open to everyone. We just want to highlight that the space we intend to create is one in which women are able to feel open, and to speak and engage fully with each other. We warmly invite those who do not identify as women to also contribute, listen and observe, while leaving space for the women present to feel empowered and safe.
