The first and only organisation dedicated to accelerating gender equity in higher education
What we do
We create the conditions for women's careers to thrive by providing access to the best quality career progression planning support you can imagine. We believe in access and equity and so our approach is systemic as well as open so that all women at all levels, from all backgrounds can be supported to reach their full potential.
We accelerate women's careers
Our transformative two-day, in-person career accelerator programme is designed specifically to enable women working in the sector to define and take key steps towards achieving career ambitions. If not now...WHEN?
We deliver equity for Black women
In 2018, there were 25 Black women professors compared to 12,500 white men. We created and have been rolling out the 100 Black Women Professors NOW programme to change that. If not now...WHEN?
We connect and unite all women
We host the first and only network for all women and non-binary people. By uniting from different institutions, disciples and professions we believe that together, we are stronger. If not now...WHEN?
