Women belong👏 in all places👏 where decisions👏 are being made👏
Today we remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg, U.S. Supreme Court Justice.
#RBG was a champion for justice & she cleared the way for gender equality so other women can have a seat at the table.
Her legacy lives on.

First founded by the @WomensInstitute, today, we remain a charity led by women, and women make up more than half of our volunteers.
We've introduced policies around shared parenting leave and menopause and menstruation to create a happier working environment for all #IWD2023
