Bruntwood SciTech, Leeds Beckett University and #WECAN are partnering to put on an inspiring event for International Women’s Day for the second year in a row.
“Who Cares?” explores the often invisible and uncompensated care work predominantly performed by women, examining its profound impact on career progression, economic security, and personal well-being. Our panel will discuss the systemic challenges women face when balancing caring responsibilities with professional aspirations, highlighting the intersectional effects on mental health, financial independence, and long-term economic opportunities.
This event is open to all and we encourage male allies to join the conversation to help #AccelerateAction and share their perspectives.
There will be an optional networking lunch afterwards.
