The WHEN network 

We’re home to the first and only cross-sector network for all women in higher education.

Our community has grown to over 9,500 women and non-binary people who value a female-centred space to connect, share, and thrive.

Right now, we’re enhancing the membership experience to make it even more valuable. You can still join today — and you’ll be among the first to benefit from what’s coming next.

Want to shape the future membership experience with us? We’d love your input. Get in touch with team@when-equality.orgfor a chat.
