“The gender pay gap continues to exist and is five times greater than it was six years ago for women in their 20s, and women continue to be discriminated against in all sectors.
“But if 2018 shows anything, it’s that there’s a new sense of collective power that has helped to shift the conversation. As Annie Lennox and Aretha Franklin sang in the 1980s, ‘Sisters are doing it for themselves, standing on their own two feet, and ringing on their own bells’.”
Tickets for this year’s event are on sale now for just £5 and include two drinks tokens from our partners Lagunitas Brewing Co. and Black Bottle Whisky and canapes courtesy of A’challtainn.
