    📑Today we've posted the 1st blog in a new series by 2 student placements from . This blog by Katie Young looks at women & decision-making in local authorities. Read it here ⬇ & stay tuned for more coming soon:

    Graphic with a bright lilac background with left-aligned quoted text in black which reads: "When some local authorities have very few women elected as councillors, or even no women at all, it is important to consider whether local authorities consider the impact of gender in their work, how this is done, and the difference that this can make to the community." The quote is attributed to Katie Young, Student Placement, University of Strathclyde in the bottom left hand side of the graphic. In the top right hand side of the graphic is the Engender logo in black.

    If ever I needed your help it is now. The government is not placing any importance on extending the power to hold virtual meetings. I need you to tell me and your MP why this is important. Local democracy is the foundation of our society and virtual meetings make that happen.

    I f**king hate tribalism, in what ever form, political, national, racial or religious. I know it’s helps some people by giving them a sense of belonging but it is ultimately destructive. It demands an ‘other’ to vilify or persecute and it inevitably makes hypocrites of us all.

    I remember being told I wasn’t entitled to paid leave, because my daughter died a few days short of 24 weeks. My grief and pain was utterly dismissed because of an arbitrary line. This move will make a real difference: I hope it’s swiftly adopted globally.

    New Zealand just approved a new measure allowing for paid leave after miscarriage. The legislation is believed to be among the first in the world, applying to couples who lose a baby at any point.
