OUR REASON WHY

What we know!

HIGH UNPAID WORK

On average women do 32 hours per week of unpaid work and care (about 9 hours more than men).

7% gender inequality

7% gender inequity in female participation in paid work - 63.5% female participation verus 70.5% male participation.

11.5% pay gap

The gender pay gap for full time weekly earnings has fallen to 11.5% with women earning 88.5c for every dollar a man earns.

​

42% return to work

An estimated 246,700 (42%) women had started or returned to work since the birth of their youngest child.  

What issues we address

  1. Career off ramping by ex- corporate, professional women, frequently after having children.

  2. Unpaid work statistics are important because time spent caring or doing unpaid labour often impacts women’s ability to engage in paid work, advance careers, take leadership roles.

  3. External barriers to workforce return means that women compromise on role equivalency and pay to balance family and career needs.

  4. Women are impacted by lower self-confidence and thereby not taking new opportunities.

What we care about

  • We care about women finding their place again — in work, in purpose, and in themselves.

  • We care about changing how the world values women’s contribution — not asking women to change for the world.

  • We care about the creative intelligence gap — and putting women’s imagination, empathy, and insight back where innovation happens.

  • We care about the women who built careers, raised families, led communities, and are ready for their next chapter — one with flexibility, creativity, and contribution at its core.

  • We care about reimagining what “work” can look like when designed for women’s real lives — and what happens when organisations finally see that as their greatest source of innovation.
