We are a movement redefining leadership in UK higher education
We are dedicated to seeing all women equally represented in higher education leadership, in our lifetimes.
We do this by:
-
Delivering national and in-house programmes that remove systemic and cultural barriers.
-
Supporting women and trans women to define and achieve their ambitions, with the support of community.
-
Mobilising mentors, allies and sponsors for action and change
- Achieving transparency in promotions and progression processes
Who our programmes are for. Several of our programmes are positive-action programmes under the Equality Act 2010, open to specific groups who face evidenced under-representation and disadvantage in the sector. Eligibility for each programme is set out on its own page. Where we deliver a programme in-house for a university, that institution sets the eligibility criteria.
Our initiatives include
We accelerate careers
Our transformative two-day, in-person career accelerator programme is designed specifically to enable participants to define and take key steps towards achieving career ambitions. If not now...WHEN?
We deliver equity
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 build community
We believe in the power of community and host events specifically for women, trans women and non-binary people. By uniting from different institutions, disciplines and professions we believe we are stronger. If not now...WHEN?
Working in partnership to change the status quo
