Aisling Cunningham’s Post

Happy International Women’s Day 👱♀️🌺 This year I wanted to write a post to celebrate Reshma Saujani, Founder of Girls Who Code & Moms First. She advocates for closing the gender pay gap and creating workplaces that are equitable for mothers. And listening to her speak… well, I could do that all day 🔥 “ The pay gap isn’t just about negotiating a better salary. It’s about addressing the social constructs that diminish women’s value in the first place… Together, we must do the hard work of questioning our own biases that deem women’s work less valuable. Only then will we build a future where our next generation of girls will prosper. “ There’s still a long way to go but with moves on the Pay Transparency Directive (to be fully transposed into Irish law by 7th June 2026) it’s a time to be thankful for all of the strong women, like Reshma, who proactively speak up to bring about change and equality for women in the workplace 🫶 #iwd2024 #inspireinclusion #womensupportingwomen
